Jessica Poulain– Insulaire (2022)

The challenge

Centred around WebGL technology and 2D/3D media, this workshop consisted in creating a dynamic cartography of the events that marked the years 2020-2022. As a graphic designer, we had to manage and optimize a media flow in a WebGL environment while respecting the constraints of the environment and bringing a creative and stimulating touch to the experience.

The goal

We created Insulaire, an island where all the activities practiced by the French during the confinements between 2020 and 2022 were located.

the process

We created an experience with a virtual island where users can discover objects related to the activities they were doing during the confinement. We collected data on the types of activities (manual, sporting, intellectual..) that people did during this period, to create a realistic and engaging experience.
We used blender to model and animate the objects, making sure they were true to the real-life models. In terms of UI/UX, we opted for an intuitive and easy-to-use interface so that users could navigate and interact with the 3D environment without difficulty.

Clicking on each object provides data on the activity concerned. There are 10 of them in total, the user has to click and learn the data as fast as possible before the end of the lockdown to leave the island with maximum joy.
