Background

The Nobel Peace Center is a Norwegian foundation and museum that opened in 2005. Among the topics which the museum shares knowledge to its visitors about, are the Nobel Peace Prize, Alfred Nobel, and the peace prize winners and their work. The museum has become known as an important exhibition space for documentary photography and has in recent years become an arena for current debates and conversations about war, peace and conflict resolution. The challenge was to create an interactive experience as a touchscreen used inside the Nobel Peace Center, as well as a website that is easy to use and update, and that shares knowledge with a world-wide audience.

Describe the strategy

The interactive touchscreen has played an important role in increasing the visitors’ experience at the Nobel Peace Center. Information about all winners of The Nobel Peace Price is easily accessible through an easy to use interactive touchscreen site. The Nobel Peace Center has 600,000 visitors annually. Of these, over a hundred thousand are pupils and students. In addition, the Nobel Peace Center has a teaching program for schools in Norway and internationally. This solution has now made it easier for students to go online to receive information about the prize winners and for teachers to access information that is a part of their curriculum.

Describe the execution

The globe that meets the user, shows the winners in a geographical global perspective that fits the award's mandate. Using WebGL technology, we created an exciting and interactive experience where you can move around the globe and click on each winner for more in-depth information. With a single click you can also switch to a horizontal timeline, which enables you to navigate laterally through over a hundred years of award winners. Both the touchscreen and website are easily accessible and intuitive to use. The easy-to-find search lets you quickly find a specific winner or themes, that certain winners are associated with. The experience is well connected with the identity of the Peace Center and the impression one is left with after a visit. In a visual costume worthy of a Nobel Prize. With a modern design that holds the test of time.
