Crafts of Life takes you inside an unlikely intersection: East Asian hunting cultures, sustainable material practices, and a browser window. Built for the University of Zurich, this immersive exhibition explores how communities across East Asia developed relationships with their local environments through craftsmanship. Leather, bone, plant fibers. Tools shaped by necessity and landscape. The 3D scenes feel museum-quiet, the kind of deliberate pacing that rewards patience. You're not clicking through slides. You're moving through space.
The team at acameo, a German studio based in Tübingen, assembled this with Three.js and Vue.js, with assets crafted in Blender. The content architecture here deserves a mention. Bilingual support (English and Chinese) layered into an interactive 3D exhibition is no small coordination problem, and they've handled it without the experience feeling stitched together. The illustration work blends with the 3D environments rather than sitting on top of them. It's cohesive in a way that suggests the design and dev conversations happened in the same room.
Worth a slow scroll and digesting the full experience.
