Wall of Inspiration

Since achieving university status in 1999, Örebro University has helped thousands of students launch fulfilling careers. To mark their 20th anniversary, the university created an interactive jubilee exhibition designed to inspire future students.

Their vision was to spotlight alumni stories in a personal, modern, and engaging way, with an interactive AR experience at its core. Collaborating closely, we helped bring this vision to life, leading the process from concept design through to final production.

Our mission was to transform the concept into a full-scale exhibition experience. We designed a sophisticated, gallery-like space featuring black-and-white portraits, red carpets, and clean lines. Each portrait represented one of 20 alumni, symbolising the 20-year milestone. Visitors could scan the portraits with a custom-built app, bringing each alum’s story to life in colour as still images transformed into vibrant video interviews.

The process included redesigning the university lounge, collaborating on AR app development with face-recognition technology, and curating a diverse group of alumni to reflect a range of backgrounds and achievements. Once the university selected the 20 alumni, we sent each a personalised invitation to join the exhibition, all of whom gladly accepted.

Our team collaborated with journalists to script each alumni’s story and arranged for portrait photography and filming over two consecutive days, ensuring consistency and quality throughout the production process.

Debuting on February 6, 2019, the Wall of Inspiration captivated audiences and exceeded expectations. Originally planned for one year, the exhibition remains a standout on campus, with potential to expand as more alumni share their journeys.
