Ernest Rutherford was a New Zealand-born physicist whose work in the early 20th century shaped our understanding of nuclear physics and contributed to the development of several innovations we rely on today. Rutherford studied at the University of Canterbury, where the Arts Centre is now located.
The Rutherford Wall is a 4 screen multi-touch interface that focuses on the life, work and legacy of the notable physicist. Containing animated lab equipment, images of Rutherford's colleagues and family, an interactive 'gold foil' experiment and flip-through notebook, the Wall acts as an engaging introduction to the entire Den.
I developed the Rutherford Wall using openFrameworks, and assisted with the design of the UX and UI.
