Kei konei koe. You are here.

'Kei konei koe. You are here' was designed and delivered by Toybox for the Auckland War Memorial Museum and sits at the heart of the Museum’s new suite of galleries: Tamaki Herenga Waka: Stories of Auckland.

The immersive experience features 8 projectors, a 360 degree wraparound screen and a fully interactive table.
The narrative is told through a mix of 2D and 3D animation, archive footage, photography and an incredible soundscape.

The Toybox project team included designers, animators, technologists, production crew and researchers.
An amazing project that tells a small part of Tamaki Makaurau’s rich and unique story.
