The James Caird tells the story of the treacherous crossing of the Drake Passage from Antarctica to South Georgia by Ernest Shackleton and 5 brave crew members.  Their boat and one of its lifeboats.  The AR completely superposes the physical exhibit, showing the stages of building, and filling the glass case to create a "cube of ocean".

TECHNICALS

Hardware: iPad Air 2 

Software: Unity 3D using Vuforia SDK 

Language: C# and GLSL

As one of the biggest technical challenges of the exhibition, we're very proud to have realised the goal of seeing the tiny boat being tossed around on a realtime animated ocean on a mobile device.
