A commissioned programme in development connecting a Memory Lounge, a wildlife AR trail and a proposed city-scale spectacle.

For Lone Pine's centenary era, Interactor is developing a connected programme that extends the sanctuary's story from an intimate visitor room to an outdoor AR trail and a proposed city-scale spectacle. Each experience gives people a different way to encounter wildlife, remember their own visits and discover a reason to come to Lone Pine.

Memory Lounge / Echoes Of Care

A nostalgic lounge becomes a living archive. Visitors encounter Lone Pine's history through a responsive television, portraits and sound, then can record a personal memory through a ringing vintage phone. Spoken memories become animated postcards in a shared display. The design keeps the story human and the technology discreet, with clear consent and curation for visitor contributions.

Why It Matters

The sanctuary's heritage becomes something visitors can enter and contribute to. The experience can deepen connection on site while building a curated collection of memories for its next century.

Wild Walk five-stop trail concept. Experience in development.

At five stops, visitors scan sculpture markers to reveal animated megafauna in the landscape. These 'ghosts of the past' become guardians of wildlife living today, including nocturnal species. The mobile AR trail connects movement, discovery and conservation; visitors can choose a Leaf Pledge as a simple action to carry beyond the walk.

Kangaroo Point Cliffs / Proposed 2027 Spectacle

The next ambition is a Brisbane Festival-scale projection work celebrating Lone Pine. Mapped to the cliff's cracks, contours and ledges, its FOOH-style visual language would make a crocodile burst through boulders, snakes slither from stone and koalas climb the rock face. A QR-triggered mobile AR layer could let daytime visitors see three-dimensional animal encounters on the same landmark and point them toward the sanctuary.

Development And Audience Value

The Memory Lounge and Wild Walk are in the Lone Pine commissioned development programme. The cliff work is at creative pitch and funding stage; festival presentation, projection infrastructure and mobile extension depend on partners and approvals. A joined campaign could connect city discovery to sanctuary visits and participation, with QR use, dwell and onward visits evaluated when delivered.
