Antarctic Explorer

It's not everyday that we (Catalyst) get the chance to explore a $528mil state of the art Antarctic icebreaker RSV Nuyina (pronounced not-yee-nah) So when the Federal Government's Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) engaged us to build an interactive digital experience to showcase RSV Nuyina, we pulled out all the stops! The outcome is a series of Augmented Reality experiences, designed to educate and inspire both current and future generations - viewed as a Web AR powered art trail on the Hobart waterfront.

RSV Nuyina is the most advanced scientific platform on the ocean, so to help users explore the ship, Catalyst leveraged our experience in advanced 3D modelling techniques to build a hyper realistic model of the 160m icebreaker.
