Georgia Aquarium
Atlanta, GA
The Georgia Aquarium is one of the largest and most exciting aquariums in the world, featuring more than 55,000 animals from 500 different species in over 5 million gallons of water. The key attraction of the facility is the Open Ocean Tube, a unique experience in which guests are immersed in an ocean environment and surrounded by species normally visible only to deep sea explorers.
For such an experience, no standard rail panels or diagrams will do. Instead, Chedd-Angier-Lewis has produced the Open Ocean Touchwall, a dynamic, interactive projection for species identification.
Larger than life, fully articulated 3-D renderings of Open Ocean fish swim across six panels assembled to simulate a tank, Guests are invited to reach out and place hands or fingers on the fish. As they do so, fun and informative content bubbles appear to educate the guest about the particular species they have chosen.
