Scottish Natural Heritage:  Touch Screen Interactive

Overview

In this touch-screen interactive Kirsty Wark presents a tour of Great Glen House, SNH's new headquarters overlooking the city of Inverness.

Great Glen House was voted BRE's most Sustainable Office Building 2006 due its uniquely sustainable design that enables SNH to have a minimal carbon footprint.

The touch screen is built into a bespoke table made from renewable oak - designed by Nord Architecture. It is situated at the SNH reception, set in the impressive open space of the building's Atrium.

From short video presentations by Kirsty Wark, users can delve deeper into the facts about the building's planning, design, materials and other green features.

This rich-media design employs new photography, illustrations, video and animation to bring the building's features to life.

As a multi-platform solution we authored in Flash for touch-screen then CD-Rom and finally repurposed the piece for viewing online. The resource is also multi-lingual - users can, at the flick of a button, change between English and Gaelic).
