Tissue Invaders Kiosk

DSC02197

 

Developed For: Human Body Gallery, Permanent Science Museum Attraction

Learning Objective: Teach visitors about the specialization of bacteria and virus in how they invade human tissue. Specifically, how do we get the common cold and the whooping cough?

Developed By: Adam Wiens, Joshua Seaver and Morgan L'Argent in close collaboration with Exhibit Development and Exhibit Production Departments

Key Features: RFID tags embedded in sculpted virus and bateria which, when placed on the scuplted magnified nasal cell or throat cell, cause the activation of a 3D animated video of how the tissue reacts to the specific invader.

R & D Challenges: Create custom interface to content with wireless technology. Make microscopic processes interesting and uderstadable using composited 3D animation and video.
