Project case study

A boat race across the Golden Horn Bay

The real bow of a boat with a wheel and a throttle lever stands in front of a curved screen: the visitor steers through Vladivostok’s bay and learns about the region’s sea resorts on the way.

The challenge

Tell people about the region’s sea resorts so that they remember them as a ride, not as a stand with text.

What Awake! delivered

The route runs across the Golden Horn Bay: from the start near Churkin under the Golden Bridge, past the sailing ship “Nadezhda”, warships, a container ship and a lighthouse towards the Russky Bridge. A real boat bow with a wheel and a speed lever drives a real-time 3D scene on a large arc screen. At checkpoints the visitor sees information about the resorts and their lap time. A session lasts one and a half to two minutes.

Outcome

The attraction works at the National Centre “Russia” in Vladivostok, alongside our master-plan model and augmented-reality map.
