Project Overview:

Activate Studios partnered with QUT to develop The Vault of Good, an interactive digital installation designed to spotlight the positive contributions made by staff and students across the university. Hosted at The Cube, this project uses large-scale touch screen technology and immersive design to share stories of sustainability, well-being, and safety. Inspiring visitors to reflect, engage, and take action.

Our Solution:

We created a beautifully crafted digital archive featuring real stories told through rich visual design, engaging soundscapes, and a bespoke user experience. The centrepiece of the experience is the Guardian of Good, a gentle, mystical figure who preserves these memories. Users explore the Vault by unlocking chambers using Auslan-inspired symbols, encouraging accessibility and connection. The project was designed for longevity, with a scalable backend and editable content pipeline.

Key Features Included:

• 8m x 3m Large-scale interactive experience
• Symbol-triggered storytelling, inspired by Auslan to promote inclusivity.
• Custom kiosk integration for navigation, info access, and content control.
• Evergreen framework for ongoing story collection and updates.
• Custom video player for content focused on accessibility, emotional impact, and community-driven footage.

• Design of The Guardian of Good character as the heart of the interface and narrative.
