Ocean Exploration Hub

Client: Aquarium of the Pacific

Britelite developed and deployed a custom system to upgrade the functionality and visual quality of the previous digital screen display environment. Given that the Aquarium of the Pacific is one of the top 5 most visited aquariums in the US (over 1.7 million people visit a year), our integrated system is providing curators with a powerful tool to expand educational initiatives.

MY ROLE

Lead Creative Technologist

Created custom Touchdesigner based software designed to playback various videos and information screens, as well as multiple live video feeds from various ip cameras and youtube streams simultaneously.

I was also tasked with planning, building and installing the various custom servers and computers needed for this project, including a 3-gpu graphics server capable of rendering a full resolution 8k output to the 12-screen display wall.

THE RESULT

The new exhibit has been highly regarded as a “clever and entertaining method for expanding the aquarium’s goals of fostering awareness for global ocean conservation efforts.”

Additionally, the interactive exhibit provides visitors with a unique view of research and initiatives being currently undertaken.
