Dioramas of the Future

Dioramas of the Future (DotF) is a collaboration between Drexel University and The Academy of Natural Sciences to develop a web-based application used to bring diorama stories to life through an interactive virtual reality experience. This project allows for more exploration and a deeper engagement with dioramas and their affiliation with the museum. Through interactive points of interest in virtual environments, an element of play is involved. Users can unlock virtual animals and specimens to add to their ‘Collection’ within the web app, available to them at any time. The final deliverable for this project is a Figma prototype and WebVR experience. We are not designing for today, we are designing for museums of the future.
