Exhibit Summary
Talking Shadows is a Interactive interactive exhibit in the Smart Technology 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
Through hands-on exhibitions, you can grasp the principles and functions of shadows, and grasp the pronunciation and mouth shapes.
Operation
The exhibition items are mainly composed of booths, motors, spotlights, expression panels, rotating mechanisms, etc. Different expression panels represent different digital mouth shapes. When the audience interacts, they first freely install the expression panel in sequence. After pressing the start button, the spotlight turns on, and the motor rotates to drive the panel to rotate. The audience observes the mouth shape of the shadow of the human face on the wall. Guess, what is the digital password in his mouth? There are 4 sentences on the wall, and each sentence corresponds to the numerical number of the expression board. The audience can also rearrange the expression boards according to the serial number of the picture and text on the wall, and watch the correspondence between the shadow's mouth shape and the text on the wall. This exhibition can also be expanded into educational activities. Guests can design and process expression panels in the "Maker Workshop" and freely develop different versions of "shadow keys". The displays are modeled via three-dimensional modeling and then animation simulation is performed to extract the mouth action pictures at the same frame interval and model construction is carried out to achieve the hands-on effect of the exhibition items.
