Project architect’s Stanley, Beaman &
Sears are well known for the "Special Feature" designs. For
this project, they wanted a feature that would reinforce
the thematic design incorporated into each specific floor
of the new building and one that would include interactive
elements for the children. VisionQuest designed and
developed an interactive video space, which allows the kids
to control a 38’ wide x 16’ high video wall by stepping
into pools of light projected onto the floor. For example,
if a child steps on the light with an icon of a fish, ocean
images from the Cousteau Society appear on the wall. If
they step on the light that looks like a star, images of
space from NASA appear. Surround sound audio and theatrical
lighting enhance the experience. VisionQuest developed this
project over a two year period and arranged for all of the
media images to be donated to the hospital free of charge.
