Museum of Palm Jumeirah

Dubai, UAE2023
Technical role

I developed the TouchDesigner systems for two interactive installations. On the LED floor, visitors' movements drive the interactive sequences and real-time caustics, creating the feeling of walking through water. For the digital aquarium, I programmed the multi-touch interaction, calibrated four transparent touch-film panels mounted on the glass, and built the playback system that displays information when a fish is selected.

Magic Innovations was the lead company responsible for the complete installation, project delivery and content production. NVPRO participated as a technical production partner. I was brought into the project as an external specialist for TouchDesigner development and interactive programming.
