Case Study

HISTORY AND INNOVATION WALL

fig. a 3D holographic displays are embedded in a seamless Corian wall.

The History and Innovation Wall in the main lobby of the hospital’s new patient tower was conceived as a digital exhibit that would tell the story of how surgeons at Nicklaus used technology to save the life of a child with a heart condition previously considered to be inoperable. fig. a

Animated holograms interact with physical elements within the displays, including a 3D-printed model of the patient’s heart fig. b that allowed doctors to better understand her condition and plan a course of action for the operation prior to surgery.

fig. b While the holograms tell the patient’s story in three-dimensional animation, the wall itself illuminates with digital messages integrated into the surface.

The “Together for the Children” campaign donor recognition wall fig. c is a sculptural expression that commemorates donors who gave to Nicklaus Children’s Hospital over the course of a specific period of time, for a specific initiative.

To honor a growing list of past and present major contributors to Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, we also created a multi-touch interactive digital wall. fig. d A custom content-managed back end allows the hospital to add donors and match them to their contribution level at any time.

fig. d The wall is comprised of 10 integrated digital displays.
