EE
Builds Health Gallery at Gulf Coast Exploreum Science Center
Exhibit Engineering is
proud to announce the opening of the new Health Gallery
My Body Works at the Gulf Coast Exploreum Science Center
in Mobile, Alabama. EE built 23 interactive exhibits for the
gallery, including three IVs and an Augmented Reality
exhibit. EE also designed and installed a unique RFID
smart-card system that allows visitors to print out their
personal results from interactives around the gallery.
The new gallery includes
over 50 educational/entertaining health-science exhibits and
a professionally equipped Bio Lab for hands-on learning and
career development.
The gallery, unique to the
region, applies many leading-edge interactive exhibit
technologies. The new exhibits are presented in the
gallery’s five zones: General Anatomy, Eat Right for Life,
Fit for Life, Cyber Surgery and the Bio Lab.
Exhibit
Engineering’s responsibilities included technical
development, engineering and final production of interactive
exhibit components as well as software development and
programming.
The new My Body Works
Gallery opened January 19, 2009. The gallery is designed
to fascinate adults and children alike as they explore how
their bodies work, and familiarize themselves with critical
public health issues such as obesity, now reaching epidemic
proportions across the nation.
Interactive Periscope installed at the Medal of Honor Museum
The Interactive Periscope was installed on the USS
Yorktown, an aircraft carrier that is part of the Medal
of Honor Museum at Patriot's Point near Charleston,
South Carolina.
Exhibit
Engineering worked with DJS Design to build this popular
exhibit, which helps to
immerse the visitor in the story of a great submarine
commander. Both the Interactive Periscope and the
Interactive Camera Control technology inside it are now
available as products from Exhibit Engineering.
Exhibit Engineering
built a custom I-Viewer as well as several other
exhibits for the spectacular new "Tigers: Tracking A
Legend" traveling exhibit, produced by Wildlife Worlds'
Carol Amore. "Tigers: Tracking A Legend" premiered at
the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana, CA.
"Exhibit
Engineering has the right combination of talent to
realize a client’s dream and all the complexities of
making it happen. "
Exhibit Engineering provided initial design engineering and
fabrication for National Science Center
Exhibit Engineering provided
initial design engineering and fabrication for thirty-two
National Science Center interactive science exhibits. In 2007,
the NSC's CEO, N. Robson Dennis and Director, James W. Frye,
Jr., announced a new nationwide program designed to provide
essential but low-cost science exhibits to science and
technology centers. Exhibit Engineering was chosen to engineer
and fabricate the initial instances of this fully developed and
floor-tested line of exhibits. These exhibits have proven
successful over many years of on-the-floor exhibition,
consistently providing high-quality take-away experiences for
both children and adults. The exhibits explain fundamental
aspects of science, and have been updated for a new (and
cost-effective) look.
Exhibit Engineering worked
with research scientists at Xerox PARC to build a gallery full
of unique reading machines and experiences. "XFR" Experiments
in the Future of Reading" opened at the Tech Museum in San Jose,
then traveled to a number of other venues around the world. The
show featured sixteen different exhibit types and 23 exhibits
overall.
