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

The exhibit the unique phenomenon of sound lifting objects to visitors through electromechanical interaction.

02 / How visitors use it

Interaction type: Electromechanical, hands-on. 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 / The science behind it

The exhibits are composed of four groups of relative acoustic matrices, foam particles and control devices. A three-dimensional transparent protective cover is set on the booth. The left and right sides of the cover are four opposite sound wave matrices (generating standing waves). foam particles are placed in the space. Set up one sound wave speaker in each of the four directions. During the interaction, visitors starts the equipment, and the matrix in four directions sounds at the same time. It will be found that foam particles will be suspended in the air, showing a regular shape.

04 / 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.
