What kind of content works well in an IV? |

Timelines or any other kind of
sequential information is ideal. Visitors could move the IV
along a wall under a diorama or landscape, for added insight
into the adjacent area. Chapters in a book, characters in a
story or segments in a strand of DNA... the design possibilities
are unlimited. |

Yes, we can
work with your materials, or create and prepare new content for
you. Simply call to discuss your needs. |

| |
Yes, a software
package is available that allows you to create your own content. |
|
Do I need a crew to install the IV system? |
| |
No, but we recommend that a
representative of Exhibit Engineering be on sight to oversee the
install. |
|
Why is the IV better than a normal touch screen kiosk? |
| |
The IV might not always be a
better solution for you than a typical touch screen kiosk. They
are distinctly different machines, each with their own
advantages. Here are a few reasons why the IV works so well with
the public:
-
The IV is better than a
touch screen because it's not simply a touch screen. The
IV's Wow Factor means it can be designed as a centerpiece
exhibit for your gallery, especially dramatic in multiple or
curved configurations.
-
It's not a kiosk. The IV
doesn't have the "kiosk" look and feel, as though you're
using an Automated Teller Machine or checking in for a
flight. Using the IV doesn't feel like you are "using a
computer." The physical action of moving the monitor
encourages interaction and creates an experience that can be
enjoyed by several people at one time.
-
Intuitive controls: Users
don't need to learn an interface. Kids and grandparents that
have never used a computer can instantly use the IV.
-
A natural sense of
"navigational geography" that matches the way people find
their way around in the real world. For example if the IV is
showing the contents of a book, the position of the monitor
literally represents the location in the book. It is easy to
remember where you came from and where you are going.
-
The IV has a touch screen
built in, so it can handle and enhance existing touch screen
content.
