Explore the Ocean
Kiel University
An interactive scientific poster developed using detailed 3D animations and data visualizations to make global ocean processes and climate change comprehensible for cruise ship passengers.
Explore the Ocean is a scientific communication project presented as an interactive scientific poster installed aboard cruise ships. The poster is structured into four chapters and fifteen episodes, each exploring a specific aspect of marine science, such as ocean circulation, marine biodiversity, and ocean acidification. The information is presented through detailed 3D animations and data visualizations, making complex concepts accessible to a non-specialist audience. Additionally, spoken audio commentary accompanies the images, facilitating self-sufficiency in content study. The interactivity of the poster is a key element of the project. This modular structure allows the educational experience to be tailored to the varying needs and curiosities of the visitors.
Explore the Ocean represents a significant example of how scientific communication can be innovative and engaging. Using modern technologies and an interactive approach, the project not only informs but also stimulates reflection on environmental issues, promoting greater awareness and responsibility.
