Project architect’s Stanley Beeman &
Sears like to design buildings that have something special
about them. For this project, they wanted a feature that
would reinforce the themes they had designed into each
floor of the new building and 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 lights on the floor. For example, if a child
steps on the light that looks like 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.
