Sakharov.space

Sakharov.space is a digital museum of Andrei Sakharov, dedicated to the centenary of the great scientist and human rights activist. It is the first and only large-scale project of its kind. Its purpose is to tell the life story, preserve the legacy and contribution of Sakharov to the struggle for human rights. The structure of the museum allows you to reach and interest a wide audience with varying degrees of immersion: a visitor can learn about Sakharov's personality in 7 minutes by watching a video, or immerse himself for half an hour in an animated timeline of his life. A Library has been made for the most curious: it contains a detailed biography of Sakharov, texts about the scientist and his own works. Visitors will have access to an extensive archive: hundreds of photos, unique documents, video and audio materials. We took the liberty to integrate modern design solutions into this project so that it turned out to be spectacular. For example, we created a 3D imagery of Sakharov and implemented it using WebGL technology. The archive images helped us make the features of the 3D model similar to real Sakharov ones. Then we animated it, recreating the atmosphere of an old movie. The work is unique from the point of view of development: the site is assembled by 85% on the Webflow platform and by 15% using WebGL.
