The Scanlines experimental interactive browser integrates three fields of data exported from the Scanlines website (People/Artworks/Events). The interactive interface allows users to browse over 2400 separate entries, encompassing over 2100 works of media art and their associated networks. It is presented in 3D at the NIEA iCinema Visualisation Lab and in 2D on a 4K screen at the Laboratory for Innovation in Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums. Both applications are built using Unity 3D.
This experimental implementation of Scanlines has been developed to not only showcase Scanlines but importantly to allow researchers to explore opportunities and constraints associated with redeploying Internet-based cultural repositories into immersive exhibition settings that use interaction design and visual browsing metaphors.
