National Medal of Honor Museum

Interactive exhibits for the National Medal of Honor Museum, across two flagship surfaces.

The first is a medal-symbology kiosk. A visitor lifts a physical medal replica off its dock and turns it in hand; an embedded IMU streams the orientation over serial, and an on-screen 3D medal mirrors the motion in real time. Rotate to a face and a hotspot opens — a short film on that part of the medal. Built in Unity with its own firmware and separate builds for the Navy, Army, and Air Force galleries.

The second is a set of chapter-based recipient-story touchscreens — carousels, 360 films, and VR viewers — kept in step by a Node show-control server and dashboard. Around them sit a ceiling-mounted RealSense depth exhibit, a self-hosted analytics fork rebuilt to log exhibit telemetry, and a Quest VR previz of the space.
