As we reported in November of 2009, Shands HealthCare of the University of Florida had contracted with Headstand Media to produce floor plans of their new cancer hospital, and to then turn those floor plans into an interactive map for their hospital and their visitors to their website.
We are pleased to announce that the project has been completed and the floor plans, maps and interactive application can be viewed online at Shands.org.
Headstand Media thanks Michael Schaffner for his integral work with us on the interactive Flash application.
We combined the use of Adobe Illustrator and then Flash to create all of the map and floor-by-floor designs, including actual Google Maps to outline the existing campus and its buildings. We then created a 3-dimensional model, and combined it all within the Flash framework to finish the interactive map.
In all, this was a fun project to work on and complete, and we enjoyed working with the Shands team to provide a tool that would both look good and make the user experience of the new cancer hospital interesting and interactive.
