MSI Field Trip

Hello!

On Wednesday we had the pleasure of visiting the Museum of Science and Industry to talk more with our customer and see the space we are going to be filling. Unfortunately, our main contact Bryan was unable to meet us, but Collette was there and was able to give us a quick tour of the facility and also got us into the Energy Garden exhibit.

We visited all the exhibits that combined physical and virtual components. The main ones we looked at were the shadow garden, the butterflies, and the interactive kinect exhibit. The kinect exhibit was very close to what we hope our exhibit will be, so it was very cool to see the capabilities of the kinect. We were able to free roam the museum for a bit before lunch.

In the afternoon, we went to the Omnimax theater and watched the Flight of the Butterflies. After the show, we went back to the Future Energy and went through the presentation with the games. All the Future Energy games were powered by "kinect-like technology" and many were motion sensors instead of touch screens.

We are moving more into the design stage and planning, so we hope to be able to report more later!
