01 / Overview

The exhibit combines augmented reality technology with holographic imaging technology to create a feeling of bringing the virtual world into real space.

02 / How visitors use it

Interaction type: Multimedia interactive. 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 exhibit consists of a monitor, camera, and computer. Participants interact with virtual elements in physical space using their hands and some props. The camera captures hand movements and the orientation of physical props, and displays the interaction with virtual elements on the screen, creating the illusion that the virtual elements are in the real world we are in. By creating different software content, different experiential effects can be derived.

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.
