Interactive Maps
Whether it's a floor-to-ceiling map of a historical empire or a floor projection of the whole Earth, an interactive map turns geography from a static poster into something visitors can zoom, filter, and walk into.

Where it works
Common ways museums use this.
Historical & Territorial Maps
Show how borders, trade routes, or settlements changed over time, layer by layer.
Gallery & Site Wayfinding
Give visitors a live, filterable map of the building instead of a printed floor plan.
Immersive Floor Projections
Project a map or globe onto the floor itself for a scale no wall map can match.
Data & Collection Mapping
Plot where a collection's objects actually came from, on a map visitors can explore.
