We’ve been busy working away to prepare digital scans and photographs to appear on the ‘big curvy screen’ and the digital exploration tables at Heritage Quay in October.

The ‘big curvy screen’ will use motion sensor technology to allow exploration of highlights from the collections – instead of pressing buttons visitors will be able to use their hands and arms to control what is visible on the screen. This type of technology is probably familiar to fans of video games but is a new innovation for a heritage setting so we’re very excited!

If you haven’t seen the ‘big curvy screen’ check out the architect’s fly-through for a preview of the screen and Wide Sky Design’s blog for the technology prototype development … then come and see if for real in the autumn!
