To mark the 60th anniversary of the tragic Munich Air Disaster, we worked with the Manchester United Museum to retell a story that will be forever remembered with great sadness.

The Museum had created a powerful exhibition paying homage to the stories of the people who were onboard that fateful flight on 6 February 1958. But to give visitors a deeper understanding of what happened, we added an interactive element to the displays.

Rather than replicating the stories already depicted, we designed a touchscreen interface containing realistic-looking documents, photos and videos relating to the investigation – allowing users to piece together the story for themselves. We combined this with a series of automated animations to draw people in, as well as a timeline using the aircraft radio transcript to help tell one of the most powerful stories in sporting history.

We’re a team in every sense of the word, and work together across disciplines without ego to find the very best solution. With relentless enthusiasm for the work and an excitement about realising a vision.
