Aurora Wall
Decorate your space with this expansive vista of aurorae allowing visitors to interact and affect the experience.
Educational Points
Aurora Wall works in tandem with our Solar Flare Wall. When the Sun’s activity is high, there are large eruptions called solar flares and coronal mass ejections. These high-energy particles and radiation get released into space and travel throughout the solar system and are what causes auroras. When the eruptions collide with Earth on the Solar Flare Wall, it increases the auroral intensity on the Aurora Wall exhibit.
User Experience
This shared multi-user exhibit allows visitors to interact with the northern lights.
- Multi-User: The Kinect will track up to 8 people, allowing each of them to move the aurorae.
User Interaction
A Kinect will track any nearby visitor allowing them to interact with this experience.
- Hand Waving: To connect with the Aurora Wall, visitors only need to lift an arm and wave a hand. The Kinect will see the movement and allow visitors to interact with the aurorae.
