Exhibit Summary
Different Shadows is a Interactive interactive exhibit in the Kids' Zone 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
The displays allow the audience to grasp the changes in shape at different angles via electromechanical interaction. Let children view the same thing from different angles and watch their changes, thereby discovering that shapes are diverse and have special structural characteristics, and cultivating children's observation and thinking abilities.
Operation
The displays are composed of styling booths, lighting devices, hands-on modules, projection surfaces and other parts. The displays consist of booths, lighting devices, hands-on modules, projection surfaces and other parts. The audience moves the hands-on module forward, left, and right or rotates the light-emitting unit to watch the changes of its shadow on the projection surface, and explore the relationship between the size of the shadow formed on the baffle and the position of the baffle. At the same time, the audience can interact with the hand shadow game. Shadow is a darker area formed because an object blocks the transmission of light and cannot pass via opaque objects. It is what we often call shadow. It is an optical phenomenon. Shadow formation requires two necessary conditions: light and an opaque object. It is divided into two types: umbra and penumbra: if you carefully watch the shadow under electric light, you will also find that the middle of the shadow is particularly dark and the surrounding area is slightly lighter. The particularly dark part in the middle of the shadow is called the umbra, and the surrounding gray part is called the penumbra. The occurrence of these phenomena is closely related to the linear propagation of light.
