Starting the creative process, our thoughts were drawn to a Tron like portal with an array of interactive media that captivates the user. The SKA blue lends itself so well to the neon glowing light and the subject matter itself, exploring the universe…we couldn’t ask for more powerful and thought provoking content.
The user is transported to an immersive universe with a multitude of worlds to explore. Each one has information ranging from the key features of each of the SKA sites, the tireless work being done across 18 timezones, to the big questions that drives the project forward. The user can enter each site where they get to view the latest videos, 3D renders, ground photography and information about the next steps of the projects.
You can experience the feeling of standing next to the SKA Pathfinder telescope in Australia, to landing by plane at the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa. It’s the perfect way to explore the new Global Headquarters at Jodrell Bank in Cheshire, with aerial videos and artists impressions and discovering out of this world facts and statistics.
The SKA is a truly unique and monumental project that has, over the past 20 months, made great progress towards building a fully working prototype of the SKA dish and the installation of almost 200 dishes in South Africa. The SKA Universe project helps put all that work into perspective and we hope it leaves people in awe of what the project is aiming to achieve.
