Ocean Networks Canada, a University of Victoria initiative, needed a way to effectively communicate the value of the oceanographic research their team is doing through their extensive underwater observatory network and how it touches the lives of people and communities globally. They aimed to present this sometimes complex information to the public in an engaging and simplified manner. Inspired by Intergalactic’s prior interactive projects and reassured by our successful collaboration on their website, ONC approached Intergalactic to help.

Together, ONC and Intergalactic designed and developed an interactive map featuring “information bubbles” that tell the story of the research, expeditions, monitoring and science that are being done. This standalone experience promotes self-led discovery of ONC’s work through compelling animations and interactive prompts. Users are invited to delve into ONC’s mission through engaging video, text and data visualizations. Created as a progressive web app with specialized video synchronization, the experience adapts to poor data connections and is easily updated by ONC. Designed for both large lobby screens and portable touchscreen devices, it is ideal for “industry” events.

The "ONC Bubbles" experience is a user favourite, and ONC continues to receive requests to install it in government offices and educational centres.
