Library Installations

A key part of the StoryTrails project is the creation of 15 new immersive “spatial maps” of different towns and cities across the UK.

These maps will be produced by curating a selection of amazing audio stories from people in each town and city and attaching these audio stories to a series of 3D models of different, places, objects and people across these towns and cities.

The aim is to create a psycho-geography of each town and city which combines the sort of good old fashioned storytelling you might hear on the very best radio programmes or podcasts with the very latest scanning technologies and use of 3D models you might come across in video games and mobile augmented reality experiences.

The maps will then be produced and rendered into large fly through experiences audiences will be able to sit in front of in their local library and navigate themselves around the map using a browser based iPad experience. It will also be available free for audiences to explore in their local library.

PLAY.
