A standard catalogue model: the dimensions, control package and finish are fixed, which is what keeps the price and the lead time predictable. Size, colour and interface language can be adapted without a new design cycle.

01 / Overview

This exhibit aims to provide participants with an interactive experience to understand the key concept of quantum mechanics - the principle of quantum superposition. The exhibit consists of a display screen, installation frame, tapping button, etc. It uses a multimedia virtual real combination to simulate Schr ö dinger's famous thought experiment, showcasing the quantum state of a cat's life and death undecided. The core interactive logic is as follows: when visitors opens the door of the box, the internal screen will display a three-dimensional image of the box, and the cat will randomly choose a state from the superposition of life and death to present. one Before arriving at the exhibit, find the tap button and press it to open the door of the box Observe the simulated stereoscopic image of the internal screen 3 Pay attention to the state of the cat in the image and feel the process of quantum superposition collapsing into a determined state. Multimedia virtual real combination: The exhibit integrates multimedia technology and mechanical structure, triggers observation actions through a mechanical door opening device, and uses a display screen to present a three-dimensional image to simulate the scene inside the box; When visitors opens the door (completes the observation).

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
