The Objective
Monogrid came to us with a clear idea: an interactive globe where Alpitour's visitors could pick a destination and watch it come to life. But the brief went a step further. Alpitour didn't want to depend on anyone to keep the content fresh. Every time a new destination launched or a photo needed swapping, they wanted their own team to handle it from their intranet, without a ticket to Monogrid or to us.
So the real challenge wasn't just linking a sphere to a screen. It was building something Alpitour could run on its own, long after the installation went live.
The Solution
Visitors turn the ORA sphere like a globe. Touch a country, and the screen beside it lights up with photos and videos of that destination. Behind that simple gesture, we built the software that keeps the sphere and the screen in sync.
We also built the part that mattered most to Alpitour: a back office. From their intranet, their team can change the images, videos and text for any destination add a new one, retire an old one, refresh a campaign without touching a line of code or calling us.
All of it lives inside the installation Monogrid designed: the furniture, the staging, the environment that makes the sphere feel like the centre of the room.
The Results
The two screens work as one: pick a destination on the sphere, and it appears instantly on the display next to it. More than 280 destinations made it onto the map.
The part that keeps paying off is the back office. Alpitour's team updates everything themselves, so the installation doesn't freeze in time it keeps evolving with their offers. In the end, the project brought together what each side does best: Monogrid's design and staging, and ORA's sphere and custom software.
