Took the Roots of Knowledge stained-glass tour from web to phone
Mobile app companion for UVU's Roots of Knowledge installation — 80 panels, 200 feet of stained glass, walked panel by panel from a phone with hidden details surfaced as you go.
Roots of Knowledge is a 200-foot stained-glass installation at Utah Valley University — 80 panels, 10 feet tall each, depicting human history from prehistory through the present. UVU already had a virtual web tour for remote viewers; what they did not have was a way for someone standing in front of the glass to dig deeper.
We adapted the existing virtual tour into iOS and Android apps optimized for in-person visitors. Each panel is selectable on the phone, with detailed historical context and zoomed-in views of details the eye misses at standing distance. The Azure backend that already powered the web tour kept doing its job; the mobile clients consume the same data.
The pleasure of this project was the constraint. The glass is the artifact. The app's only goal is to let you understand it more deeply without ever pulling your eyes off it for longer than necessary.
