Description
The scale model of Ebbets Field, home of the Brooklyn Dodgers, has controllable illuminated features including a period-style scoreboard, bullpens, press box, and dugouts, and is projection-mapped from above to turn the field into a storytelling surface. An LED tile wall behind the model and 34" reading-rail touch displays let visitors navigate stories about Jackie Robinson's baseball career and civil-rights activism. Ideum also worked with Zubatkin on the installation (role not covered by the roles vocabulary — construction/project management).
