VR mission control: 2005-7 Pretty advanced for the time…
The site for the project (see below) was built thanks to Nokia’s support… it’s a powerful storytelling interface entitled ‘STORYWAVE‘ Its a slickly rendered platform that can host innumerable adventures/expeditions/stories one with hi-tech mission control for all to explore one designed from the ground up to ‘engage inform & empower’ viewers as journeys unfold.
