The "Holopix" cabinet complete! - This is the end result of the "Holopix" project. My role was to take the the software and R2-D2 model (designed by students at the CMU ETC) and implement it into RoboWorld at the Carnegie Science Center. My favorite feature is the short-throw projector hidden away in the cabinet behind the image of C3PO. I'm quite pleased with the results!
"Basketball freethrow" - In this activity, a computer records the number of shots taken vs the number of baskets made and compares the accuracy to that of a huge robot arm in the cage next to the activity.
"Building Green" - What you're looking at here is a small space that was dedicated to components that educate visitors in materials used in "green" construction.
"Building Green" - This is the opposite side of the "Building Green" exhibits. The siding helps tie all the components together while adding to the aesthetic of the experience.
Electricity consumption exhibit - In this tradeshow activity, people can directly compare the energy used in CFL bulbs to that of standard ones.
Electricity generation exhibit - As you crank the handles on each end of the activity you can see directly how much energy you are producing. In the center section you can get an idea of how much electricity average homes and businesses use annually.
"Power consumption quiz" - In this mobile kiosk you answer three questions about power consumption to attempt winning a prize.
