How Hardware Choices Inspire the Next Generation of Innovators
When staff at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry began planning their exhibit on the science behind James Bond movies, they knew they would need to invest in reliable hardware. They wanted to project clips from the films, which required video equipment that could accommodate the shape and size of the gallery where the exhibit would be housed.
BizTech went to the museum in Chicago to discuss the project with the exhibit planning team. Their experience is an example for other organizations on how to leverage valuable partnerships and critical hardware choices to create interactive experiences for visitors.
