The brief

What the experience needed to do

The university wanted a display that could engage different audiences while giving researchers and students room to develop their own experiences.

The delivery

What we brought together

  • A spherical display with interchangeable screens for the Jim Piper – Discover, Create, Innovate centre.
  • PufferBuild, OurClimate and PufferWeather to support content creation and exploration.
  • A platform that researchers and students in the School of Computing could develop further.
The experience

From platform to purpose

The sphere has become a central display in the centre, serving audiences across ages and backgrounds. Its value extends beyond presenting ready-made content: it also creates a canvas for the university's own work.

“providing engaging, interactive displays for audiences across all ages and backgrounds.”
