Interactive, Map-driven Web Experience For Nbc And Google

NBC and Google approached Haus to create an interactive experience for the geopolitical drama American Odyssey. Haus built a seamless extension of the show where fans track characters across the globe and through timelines. The hero is a custom-styled Google Maps interface pushed to broadcast-level video glitch effects and transitions while preserving native map functionality. The site evolved weekly, adding exclusive, CMS-backed behind-the-scenes content for all 13 episodes. An adaptive, dashboard-style UI used collapsible panels animated with SVG and canvas to keep information accessible and thematic. Mobile optimization ensured smooth transitions and visual finesse without sacrificing performance.
