Gulf Coast Exploreum My Bodyworks Gallery
Perfect Prototype helped create, design, and implement software and electronics for 9 unique exhibits with a total of 17 kiosks. Two iconic exhibits, the Augmented Reality Heart Anatomy kiosks and the Human Anatomy sliding monitor exhibits contributed to a high-tech futuristic gallery.
Perfect Prototype also designed and implemented an RFID exhibit data tracking system used in 12 exhibits that stored 23 data metrics about the user. As they walked through the gallery, a user would use their RFID card to activate the various health exhibits. When finished with the activity, each exhibit would write their result to the card. When finished, they could return to the check out kiosks to print their report. For example, Perfect Prototype created an exhibit to measure a visitors Body Mass Index (BMI). A laser would measure their height while they stood on a scale measuring their weight. They could enter if they were an adult, or a boy or girl under 18 to get a customized chart showing their BMI. Their height, weight, and BMI were then recorded on their RFID card.
Another of our highly dynamic exhibits, Eating Smart, allows users to choose what they might eat in a day and see how their picks compared to the recommended daily amounts in the food pyramid.
