Project case study
Secret trails of the taiga
Put a card with an animal’s paw print under the camera, and the forest scenery brings that animal to life: a leopard, a tiger or a bear walks out of the taiga.

The challenge
Introduce the animals of the Far Eastern taiga through a small investigation instead of a list of names.
What Awake! delivered
Five cards with paw prints are recognised by a camera above the table; each one starts its own theme in the forest scenery, and the details are browsed on a touch screen. We tuned recognition with the client’s team for the final camera position, the printed card sizes and the lighting on site.
Outcome
The zone works in the Travel Gallery and became our reference for card recognition in later projects.
