Iron Bottom Sound Interactive Map
A wall-sized touchscreen for the museum’s Dr. Robert Ballard exhibit. Visitors touch any ship on a map of Iron Bottom Sound to explore the story of its loss and its wreck on the sea floor.
KioskWhat we built
When Battleship IOWA Museum built Lost at Sea: The Explorations of Dr. Robert Ballard, Wicked Code created the exhibit’s interactive centerpiece for the Guadalcanal gallery. It is a wall-mounted touchscreen map that marks where each ship went down, covering Allied warships, Japanese navy ships and Japanese cargo ships. The invitation on screen is simple: “Touch a ship name and dive deeper into each story.”
Each ship opens to its own story, turning a crowded chart of names into something visitors can explore at their own pace. The kiosk sits within a full gallery wall of expedition video and underwater photography of the wrecks.
Built for a museum floor, the interface is large, obvious, and usable by a ten-year-old or a ninety-year-old veteran without instructions.
