Singapore Odyssea

Immersive Exhibition

CraveFX is proud to have played a key role in the creation of Singapore Odyssea, the National Museum of Singapore’s latest permanent experience. A sweeping, immersive journey through 700 years of Singapore’s history, now open to the public within the iconic Glass Rotunda.

Commissioned to lead the multimedia production and interactive design, CraveFX worked closely with partners, Kin Productions, GSM Project, E&E and the museum team to bring this ambitious vision to life. The result is a multi-sensory experience that reimagines how history can be told through immersive visuals, evocative soundscapes and meaningful interaction.

Visitors embark on a digital voyage aboard a vessel, travelling through dynamically animated environments that reflect key moments in Singapore’s evolution from ancient shores and colonial encounters to modern day cityscapes. The narrative is shaped not by text, but by atmosphere and symbolism with water serving as both metaphor and medium.

At the heart of the experience is a reactive companion wristband, at the heart of the journey is an interactive companion, a creature inspired by Singapore’s native fauna designed not just to accompany visitors, but to subtly spark awareness of our fragile ecosystems and the deep ties between environment, identity, and memory.

The Lower Drum Experience

As one of the developers assigned to this section of the project, Elnathan came on board mid-project to build the Unreal Engine + nDisplay system behind the virtual waterfall, comprising dynamic waterfall-opening interactions and real-time visitor tracking. The result was an immersive 360-degree cylindrical projection, where a towering waterfall encircles visitors from floor to ceiling. As they step closer, the water parts to reveal animated portals into four pivotal moments in Singapore’s history. A 10-meter LED floor reacts with ripples beneath their feet, transforming from ancient seas with floating coconuts to post-war puddles and cracked concrete.
