Seattle's new Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame features specially produced immersive displays by EffectDesign.

Using animated high-definition imagery, Spacedock and Cities of Tomorrow exhibits enable visitors to see 20 classic spaceships and three visions of the future: a 1950's Atomic City, 'Blade Runner's' Los Angeles, and the real world of 'The Matrix.' The projected environments and spaceships are photo-realistic.

Amazing Places allows visitors to select a science fiction planet on a touch screen. Once selected, the planet forms in 3-D space from cosmic gases, presenting a walk-around, look-over and under presentation of the planet as it slowly rotates in real time. A short documentary informs visitors of the planet's history.

EffectDesign also created other special effects for the museum, including a 3-D animated floating ring system around a life-sized Maria figurine from the classic motion picture 'Metropolis.' We also created custom multi-channel sound effects and fiber optic starfields for nearby galleries.
