Ocean Today Museum Kiosk

The wireframing process for the NOAA Ocean Today Kiosk was a comprehensive endeavour that laid a solid foundation for the project. Over 20 screens were created in Omnigraffle to depict various interactive states, with detailed annotations to ensure clarity to developers. Additionally, key images from planned 3D animation sequences were integrated, offering previews of the kiosk's final visual elements. These wireframes were tailored to the target application, enVision 1.1, which was the prevailing standard at the time of the project, ultimately shaping the kiosk's user interface and interactive capabilities.

Early concepts envisioned an ambient video loop showcasing diverse ocean scenes, setting a captivating backdrop for user engagement. The design embraced oversized navigation text, ensuring easy access to information. To maximize the interactive potential, the entire screen was utilized, providing users with an immersive experience. Scrollable columns and rows were introduced, cleverly designed to disappear off the sides of the screen, enhancing the sense of exploration and creating a dynamic, user-friendly interface.
