Evolutionary Corridor is a large-scale interactive installation that integrates cutting-edge technology with creative storytelling to create an immersive experience for visitors to explore the process of human evolution. Collaborating with Max Sun and Cathy Li, The Evolutionary Corridor is a proposal project for the American Museum of Natural History. The prototype of the project was showcased in the American Museum of Natural History.

The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) is an iconic institution known for its extensive collections, exhibitions, and educational programs. However, the transition from the old to the new venue has led to noticeable disparities in the experiences of visitors. This discrepancy arises from various factors, including the evolution of exhibit design and technological advancement.

Drawing inspiration from the installation in the Hall of Human Origins, and with the aspiration of creating a seamless museum experience, our proposal, Evolutionary Corridor, seeks to blend cutting-edge technology with the narrative of human evolution, fostering an immersive and interactive journey for visitors. Our goal is to create an engaging and educational experience that transcends traditional museum exhibitions, leveraging real-time interactive installations to elucidate the story of human evolution in an understandable manner.

For the prototype, we replaced all the LED panels with two projectors, one is facing the wall while the other is facing the ground. We also upgraded the visuals to enhance the immersive experience for the viewers. The map that highlights the location of the ancestor will diffuse beneath viewers’ feet right after viewers step onto the footprint.
