Interactive Exhibits - Hi Tech & Low Tech

Part of the Aviation in Alaska exhibit at Anch. Museum.  2 interactive screens are IMacs reprogrammed with content for this show.  Done locally/in house for far less than contracted price.

Several of these 2 screen station placed throughout the exhibit.  One didn't work.  Small screens but not annoyingly so.  They were Kindles I think.

Julie Decker, curator at Anch. Mus. said for us to call her when help needed.  Part of their mission is to help other museums in the state.  A friend of hers did programming for these screens.

Dials for prompting audio for the Stearman plane, located directly behind this panel.  Very effective and popular.

at the San Francisco Maritime Historic Park.

At the deYoung museum in San Fran.  Single island touch screen in a darkened gallery.  Sorry for sideways photos.

Conduits on wall and floor are ok.  Mostly invisible

at the MOHAI in Seattle.  Touch screen with audio for learning Chinook language jargon.

History shown by different languages attached to different claimed locations via lights.

Very effective display at MOHAI introducing viewer to many well known people in the Seattle area over 150 year time span.  This had 3 stations with same content.  Maybe we could use 2 screens set into a timeline on one side of entry hall to our museum.

Three columns of faces divided by 50 year increments.  Constantly flowing, touch any face, column moves to center, image enlarges with brief description, touch again and see a short video with sound of that person.  Actual voice of living individuals.  This would be an excellent one to emulate in our entryway as introduction to Cordovans.
three different stations with same presentation at each to accommodate more viewers.  I could imagine we use 2 screens with different content.

Visually appealing, colorful and fun, but complex interactive screen about the many neighborhoods in Sea.  I found it confusing to use.  I like the concept and think we could maybe adapt this for us somewhere but on a different topic.

2-d keyboard for leaving a message.  Could be used for many different kinds of content.

I don't think this was interactive, just images rolling by, but still satisfying.
