In 2003 Knapp-Goodwin approached us with a project to create an interactive video conferencing application for the National Space Centre in Leicester.

The purpose of the project was to demonstrate the time delay that would occur when communicating over a vast distance – in this case between a fictitious space cruiser and a space station on Mars.

The project was conceptualised by Knapp-Goodwin, who designed and built the kiosk environment that the display resides in, and provided the graphic design for the display.

Benson Cairns acted as technical producers on the project. We identified the technology and specialised skills required and managed the project and production process on behalf of Knapp-Goodwin. We also wrote the voice script and oversaw the installation of display and its network at the Space Centre.

We received invaluable assistance in developing the Rich Internet Application that lies at the core of the display from our associates at Iteration:two, an Edinburgh-based software development company.
