Time Tunnel (including the Abyss)

Exhibit Summary

Time Tunnel (including the Abyss) is a Interactive interactive exhibit in the Optics category, designed for science centers, children’s museums, discovery centers, STEM learning centers and family entertainment centers. Built as a hands-on, mechanical & electromechanical display, it turns an abstract scientific concept into direct, interactive visitor exploration, and is engineered for durable, low-maintenance, high-traffic gallery use.

Scientific Principle

This combined exhibition consists of two immersive optical experience units, the Abyss and the Time Tunnel, which systematically explain the core geometric optical laws of semi-transparent and semi-reflective light splitting and multiple continuous reflections of plane mirrors. The Time Tunnel simultaneously expands the physiological science knowledge related to human vestibular balance perception; teenagers walk via the corridor and intuitively distinguish the underlying logic of transmitted and reflected light to collaboratively generate infinite virtual space, and personally experience the strong contrast between virtual and real vision; the displays open up the two major knowledge sections of optical physics and human body perception, guiding teenagers to conduct comparative observation experiments, breaking via The inherent cognition of "seeing is believing" cultivates interdisciplinary science inquiry thinking and spatial geometric analysis abilities.
