Brave New Museums

Finally we’ve got 7-inch monitor today!

However sensors and wires work is too tough!

Magnets, sensors, wires, tapes, slide mounts,……..

Especially magnet was one of worst problems. Magnet was too weak to activate magnet-sensors!!!!

So we re-designed Loupe! ã… ã…  It looked so wierd.

Anyway we managed to make it.

And follows are sketches of Room 3

Before making ‘Final Prototype Assembly’, we finished our prototype No.1.

We used an infrared sensor for zooming and switches instead of magnet sensors for activating.

And after finishing plans for assembly, we made ‘contents’ for slides and digital informations.

For diffusing light we attached aluminum foils inside of light box.

Arm testing for weight

24 magnet sensors grouped by 4

There are three stamps on the table. Users can choose Episode stamp to see content of the room’s main exhibit. For example users can see story of fight of Hercules and Laomedon in the stamp that they made. And with other two stamps, user control contents of stamps like changing volume of sound or size of latest stamp.

First one-01 is about one theme. There are 3 stamps. Each stamp has a different function like story, images, sounds.

Second one-02 is about one main theme and 2 detailed stories. In this case people can use A stamp first. In particular part, you can choose one story in two.

It’s just draft idea. We will think of contents and structures.
