EA Story
Museum InstallationCMS PlatformWall Projection
The EA Story is an internal digital museum for Electronic Arts — a web app cataloging four decades of games from 1982 on: timelines, trailers, credits, and staff profiles where visitors love, play, and make the games they shipped.
It pairs with a physical installation on EA's Redwood Shores campus, where a touchscreen kiosk sends a chosen game rippling across a 109-by-13 tile grid on a 4K wall.
Sole developer of the web platform — the Game Vault sync that pulls thousands of titles from EA's internal API, full-text search, single sign-on, the migration off the old CMS, and the Windows kiosk provisioning — and co-developer of the Unity wall renderer and the relay that keeps kiosk and wall in step.
