Wildflower worked with Terra Incognita Productions to produce and write the content for a series of interactive touch-screen stations at the Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin, Texas.
The 1995 discovery of French explorer La Salle’s sunken seventeenth-century ship, La Belle, began a twenty-year process of excavation, conservation, documentation, and eventual exhibition of this well-preserved vessel. Over one million artifacts were recovered from the ship and the comprehensive Artifact Viewer—with its animations, 360-degree photography, and historical images—allows visitors to explore many of them in-depth.
Interactives, available in English, French, and Spanish, include:
- Assembling La Belle
- Constructing the Cofferdam
- Explore the Shipwreck
- Finding the Mississippi River
- How Does It Work?
- Load the Cargo
- Trading Goods
- What Would You Bring?
- What’s Inside the Concretion?
- Where Was It From?
- Artifact Viewer
A comprehensive, proprietary content management system allows museum staff to maintain and augment the content in each of these iPad-based interactives.
