Flying Fish collaborated with the Australian Museum to enhance the exhibition’s content and interactivity, tailoring it for international audiences. Immersive features, including augmented reality experiences like the Forest Floor AR trail and Virtual Cave Spider simulation, were developed, creating captivating and fully interactive environments for visitors. Cohesive branding and graphic design were crafted to reflect the exhibition’s engaging themes of fear, fascination, and discovery, ensuring a visually striking and thematically consistent presentation across all venues.
Production & Fabrication:
Flying Fish fabricated and refined key components to deliver a visually impactful exhibition. Robust exhibits were produced to integrate live spider habitats, dried specimens, and cutting-edge multimedia displays, enhancing visitor engagement. Interactive experiences such as augmented reality trails, touchable displays, and full-body engagement features were engineered to immerse visitors in the world of spiders and their habitats. Our team managed the acquisition, handling, and care of live spiders, including species native to North America, to localize the exhibition for regional audiences. Specialized crates were designed to safely transport live specimens, multimedia equipment, and exhibition components, ensuring their integrity throughout the tour. Comprehensive exhibition tour documentation was provided to facilitate consistent setup, adaptation, and operation at each venue.
