A studio children can operate.
Mad originally designed and installed the museum’s AV system and interactive exhibits. One part of that scope was a television studio combining interdependent applications and physical controls into an exhibit that children could use.
The studio supported karaoke, news and weather sessions, as well as a facilitated mode in which children could take roles in performance, camera operation, sound, lighting, mixing and editing.
Renewal without losing the purpose.
For a later upgrade from standard definition to HD, Mad rewrote the interactive and supporting applications, integrated HD cameras and mixing equipment, and rebuilt the setwork around the revised system.
The work also changed the recording workflow from DVDs to memory sticks. Barcode wristbands connected a visitor’s sessions to the files available through the retail area, keeping the recording and collection process part of the experience.
Design. Engineer. Deliver.
What should your visitors experience?
Bring Mad your brief, an exhibit idea or an operating challenge. We can connect the experience with the audiovisual systems, software and physical details needed to realize it.
