Australian National Surfing Museum

Sandpit partnered with the Australian National Surfing Museum to create an interactive wall that gives visitors deeper access to the stories of Australia’s greatest surfers. The arch shaped structure sits at the heart of the Museum.

The experience consists of a projected archway with a touchscreen at its centre. Visitors can drag and drop the image of a Hall of Fame inductee onto the touch screen to expand and explore their story. The touch screen also includes a map, directing visitors to where they can locate physical objects inside the Museum related to that inductee.

When they’re done reading, visitors can style their own, one-of-a-kind surfing poster featuring their favourite inductee, and add it to the wall of fame. The entire interactive was constructed from recycled components including all AC hardware, significantly reducing its carbon footprint.

The Museum itself hosts a huge selection of physical surfboards and was rapidly running out of space to tell their evolving story, so Sandpit designed a solution that will allow them to continue to collect and share stories unencumbered by the limitations of physical space. Sandpit created a custom CMS for the Museum so that they can continue to add to the content and celebrate Australia’s surfing heroes for years to come.
