Museum Of Courier
Client: Samokat
Year: 2023
Studio: Chipsa
Project Timeline: 2 1/2 month
Synopsis:
Someone somewhere is waiting for their order to be delivered.
Museum Of Courier is the result of our collective effort to bring attention to and raise awareness of the profession, its history from antiquity to present day, and the impact it has on everyday life.
Concept and Modeling
Museum space features 7 thematic rooms covering 4 epochs. We set out to try to immerse the visitor into the experience by creating each room so that it reflects the time and place it belongs to.
We've come up with the blueprint of the space, collected time-specific references for the rooms, and modeled and optimised assets.
Room: Greece, Rome
Piece: Gazeebo - Hermes, Roman Thermopolium
Room: Japan
Piece: Hikyaku - japanese courier
AI Generated
Since tight deadline we used AI (Stable Diffusion 1.5) tools to create posters.
Three JS Tuning
All rooms were baked and finetuned using three.js viewer to be further handed over to frontend.
Frontend Development
The Web version was developed using WebGL, React and Three.js. The development and design went parallel to each other.
The Museum was optimised later on to allow comfortable exploration on mobile.
UI Design
Interface was supposed not to be overwhelming but still reflect the identity of the client's brand.
We made the tutorial tips appear as they were relevant during the journey, and not all at once at the beginning, to achieve similarity with games.
Japanese courier creation breakdown
We set out to create a project different from what we've already done before.
We tried to present the visitor not with a collection of objects, but invite him to explore a retrospective of the history of delivery development and take the him along on this journey.
