Rockbrook Engineering received a coveted "Highly Commended" award in the InAVate 2017 finals after delivering this visitor center, which was regarded by the client at the time as one of the most interactive visitor centers in the world.

The biggest challenge in this project was managing audio spill and echo, as the exhibits were located in underground vaults adjacent to each other. This was managed through software by sequencing and synchronizing vocal elements to ensure they never overlapped, and by installing point source speakers and significant amounts of acoustic absorption material.

The installation contains over 130 displays, 35 projectors, and multiple high-technology camera-controlled exhibits and displays. To ensure groups could interact together, a clever quiz game was designed, encouraging visitors to answer multiple-choice questions by standing in floor-projected areas. Infrared cameras then counted the number of visitors in each section to display the result.

Projection-mapped storybooks operated via hand gestures, object recognition displays, and live Twitter media feeds, coupled with over 58 other touchscreen displays, form the technical backbone of the installation.
