Sliding Monitors
Integrating information and visuals into sophisticated, self-paced multimedia experiences
The Sliding Monitor, for which we create the programming and hardware interface, is a compact, monitor/CPU carriage unit that integrates into a highly visual, content-rich exhibit. As visitors slide the carriage to trigger points on a background, various media – videos, graphics, animation, for example – appear on the monitor.
From 10 – 20 feet long and millions of bits deep, the Sliding Monitor-equipped exhibit opens up a creative, efficient, and high-impact avenue for synthesizing and communicating educational or business information.
Perfect Prototype has customized Sliding Monitor exhibits for a multiplicity of applications including:
- dynamically showing off the exciting history of sports teams;
(check out how we did this for the Philadelphia Flyers and Sixers basketball “history zone”) - a traveling exhibit to show off a global presence by being able to instantly switch between eight different languages with just the push of a button (all the video, text, and images would swap out into a localized version specific for each visitor);
- showcasing extensive multi-national product lines at a corporate visitor center as well as using portable versions of the sliding monitors to take on the road for marketing and talent recruitment;
(check out how we did this for Honeywell) - highlighting achievements through video interviews, multimedia animations, and a visual history;
- delivering highly informative, visually-stimulating experiences that give users a chance to interact with an “x-ray” view inside machinery such as automobiles;
(check out how we did this for an anatomy slider for the Gulf Coast Exploreum Science Center) - allowing users to “fly” through digital environments;
