Designing Hands-On Digital Immersion for the World’s Premier Science Museum
R3imagine advised the Exploratorium on immersive learning experiences that turn complex science into participatory, wonder-filled exploration.
The Problem:
As a world-leading science museum built on hands-on learning, the Exploratorium explored how digital immersive experiences could deepen science education—without losing what makes the museum magical: curiosity, experimentation, and discovery. The team sought concept direction for an exhibit exploring the relationship between the human brain and AI, designed to help visitors learn through interactive, multimodal experiences and shared conversation.
Our Approach
R3imagine participated in a two-day digital design charrette to help shape immersive learning strategy and propose exhibit interactions grounded in experiential science education. We developed a concept framework and interactive directions. From brain-mapping learning stations to facilitated global dialogue formats, designed to make invisible systems (mind, data, intelligence) tangible through hands-on exploration.
The Impact:
The engagement resulted in a pitch-ready strategy and exhibit concept package outlining audience experience, content, technology considerations, and partnership pathways for a new kind of participatory science learning experience. The Exploratorium team also invited Anatola to explore deeper collaboration, reflecting strong alignment with the museum’s immersive learning vision.
