Visitors using the central interactive kiosks in the Science Museum Atmosphere gallery.

Working with AllofUs, I built the software and games for the central exhibit: a series of multiplayer kiosks that take visitors through collaborative challenges exploring Earth’s interconnected systems.

Every decision players make ripples outward, visibly changing a gallery-wide projection of the atmosphere and the surface above and beneath them.
