6. INTERACT IVE
VI RTUAL ROOMS
There is often more than the exhibition itself, and
visitors can be invited to go beyond the 4 walls of
the museum room. This is the the kind of
experience that virtual rooms make possible.
Visitors could experiment what was Sydney in the
last Century, visit Paul Cezanne's atelier in
Southern France while staying in Shanghai, or
take part to the French Revolution.
All this is possible by simply navigating with their
hands within 3D or panoramic environments.
ubiq'window brings precise and touchless
interactivity to very large screens. There is no
machine to use, there is no learning necessary
to interact.
