The display lets visitors explore human anatomy. A life-sized body of a person is rear projected against a 1000 x 2000 metre acrylic screen (other sizes are possible). “X-ray” hand tools (ring and handle) as shown on the graphic, reveal muscular structure, bone structure and organs as they are moved over the screen. If the user finds a specific “X-rayed” area interesting, he can touch the area on the screen reaching through the ring and trigger pop up graphics and text to get more information.
The technology used for sensing user interaction is based on optical tracking. A similar system is currently installed at Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town. The rear projected system requires approximately 1500 mm rear projection space. The hand-tools are fixed to the exhibit with a wire. They are cheap and easily replaceable items made of Perspex or ABS. They contain 3-5 infrared LED’s each and a battery.
The principle of this exhibit allows for a range of applications. The hand tools may become giant magnifying glasses enabling user to discover microscopic worlds or else.
Thus, the”anatomy explorer” could easily become a “particle explorer”, “bio explorer” or “map explorer” by adjusting the content.
Any application where invisible information is made visible in a controlled and fun interactive way is perfect for the Interactive Explorer.
