Future Cities Exhibit
The Future Cities Exhibit is a fusion of art, technology, and urban planning. It features a table on which a projector uses projection mapping techniques to bring a futuristic city model to life. Visitors can interact with the exhibit by selecting and placing various 3D objects on the table. Infrared cameras beneath the table recognize the objects and their locations, triggering corresponding projections. Additionally, a short-throw projector within the table displays roads and traffic patterns, creating a dynamic urban environment. A slider allows visitors to seamlessly transition between two future city scenarios.
Visitor Experience
Approach the exhibit, and you’ll be transported into a world of future urban possibilities. As you select and place 3D objects on the table, watch as the city model transforms around them. Infrared cameras beneath the table recognize your objects and project corresponding content onto them. The short-throw projector within the table depicts dynamic roadways and traffic patterns, bringing the city to life.
Slide the handle to seamlessly switch between two distinct future city scenarios, allowing you to explore contrasting visions of urban development. It’s an interactive journey where your decisions shape the cities of tomorrow.
- Urban Dilemmas: Step into a captivating world where you’ll encounter two strikingly different urban futures. Witness the contrast between a city dominated by machines and one where humans reclaim the streets. Feel the anxiety of congestion and the vibrancy of creative interactions.
- Dynamic City Modeling: Interact with a dynamic city model in real-time. Move buildings and infrastructure, and watch as these changes are detected and projected onto the model. Explore the consequences of your decisions in both urban scenarios.
- Comparative Insights: Utilize a mechanical slider to toggle between the two worlds, allowing you to visually compare the outcomes of different urban planning choices. Engage in discussions about the potential implications of these decisions.
