An immersive web experience that allows users to browse through over a hundred years of prize winners, learning about their cause and background. The site was also deployed as an interactive touchscreen installation in the Nobel Peace Center.

The user is encouraged to explore in a number of different ways - both from spinning the globe, as well as scrolling through a horizontal timeline, and discovering related laureates on each subpage.
