2-D Theaters  "Standard" theaters can range anywhere between a simple projection and audio system to a complex theater that includes multiple channels of video, a complex audio system, controlled lighting and special effects. A good example is the Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage center's Blue Planet show (ADD LINK).

3-D Theaters  Mad Systems can design and install your 3D theaters. We are the representatives for 3D video material created by Swinburne University's department of Astrophysics and Supercomputing, educational mostly astronomy based material for all ages. We currently have 6 different movies with a total runtime of well over 60 minutes. Please click here for further information and samples of our material.

Virtual Viewer  The Virtual Viewer is the ideal device to educate and entertain visitors in indoor and outdoor locations. Much like the old-fashioned monocular or binocular viewers found in locations such as visitor centers including National Parks and even the Empire State building, visitors can just move the viewer around and observe objects. The difference is, that the Virtual Viewer will use its speakers to tell them what they're looking at, show stills or animations relating to the subject, and with various optional packages move a remote camera, view underwater or in hazardous inaccessible locations, or even see in the dark. For more information please look at our detailed Virtual Viewer page. Our Virtual Viewer can take any shape or form that you like, and can be provided with or without a coin mechanism.

Show Control  With experience in a number of different show control systems, we can provide any level of show control for applications that range from a Disney Parade with thousands of peripherals to a simple theater.

Video Systems  Our expertise in video systems ranging from standard definition DVD to high-definition computer/server driven solutions is second to none.

Turnkey Systems  Our systems, although they might seem complex, are usually designed to be turn-key; there often is only one single button or key to start or stop the system, with overrides for special cases as needed. This means that operational staff requirements are normally minimal.

Audio Systems  We have a lot of audio design experience, and our project and client list clearly shows that. Please contact us with your detailed requirements, we can help with audio systems that range from large venue big sound right down to hard rooms with sound bleed problems.

Lighting  We have designed and implemented a large number of lighting systems for our museum and corporate clients, and we feel comfortable that we can help your venue with a lighting system that fits your budget and meets your needs.

Special Effects  Special Effects are an area where we excel. From our custom designed proprietary water only fog system and our water cannon to a custom underwater mechanism to move a 250 lbs topographical map, we can help with your needs.

Interactive Displays  Mad Systems excel at the implementation of interactive displays. Selection of sensors and mechanisms to interface is a key element in the process of designing interactive solutions, and we have extensive experience in selecting the right device, and mounting it in such a way that it can withstand the type of use it gets in any museum or visitor center. We do not select "cheap" components, and we make sure that the interfaces to the interface devices are carefully thought out and properly implemented, so that our interfaces last, and continue to give optimal accuracy. We do not want to see "Out of Order" notices on your exhibits, and we do our very best to make sure that your exhibits are designed to last, uninterrupted.

Motion Simulation  With extensive experience in motion base system design, implementation and programming, and over 100 motion base units in the field running our control software, we can help you with your motion base theater or capsule. We understand the technologies involved, and can help at any level with the implementation of a 3-, 4- or 6-dof motion base theater design.

Pure Water Fog  For one of our projects, we tried to find a water-only fog system. After we got wet, and didn't get the result we needed, we decided to develop our own. Using a different technique that only requires plastic tubing instead of stainless steel welded pipe, and a non-clogging orifice on our nozzles rather than a micron-sized hole, we provide low maintenance water-only fog solutions that outperform other systems on the market.

Dive Presentation  Our best recommendation for one of our underwater presentation systems was by a master diver who used to dive in the NASA zero-G facility; after his first dive with his system, he was bubbling with enthusiasm even after getting out of the water - and his first words were that this was the best, easiest and most intelligible underwater communications system that he had ever used. He found it easy to understand the questions from the presenter and from the public, and they found it easy to understand him, too. Our systems are safe: we use galvanically isolated feeds to the diver, so that we know that there is no contact between the electronics in our rack and the divers' audio feeds.

Crazy Stuff  Mad Systems specialize in solving not-so-standard type of problems and requirements. We'd love to talk to you about YOUR project, to see what we can do to help to make it special.
