This is so inspirational

I came across this and just have to share because the potential for this kind of multi-media exhibition is candy to the mind.



Can you imagine this technology being used more in all kinds of historic sites? Independence Hall? An outdoor venue like Pearl Harbor?? (Just thinking of American history here, but imagine all the world events that could be covered!)

Take it a step further...could something like this be used interactively? Like have a visitor walk through a building or something and be able to touch a wall to receive a multi-media, immersive history lesson? How could it be individualized or should it be a group experience, like being in a virtual reality movie theater?

If a group experience, what about something like a Disney ride, where you sit in a room full of chairs that can pivot and with 4 screens all around you, you walk or run from a first-person camera perspective, turning as needed to take in what the screen person sees? Heck, add in some wind or smells just for authenticity.

This exhibition in Holland is stunning. I am definitely inspired by it and am eager to see what other similar projects will come about.
