ABQ BioPark Staff Try "Be the Bug" Alpha
Ideum is currently designing and developing an interactive for the new Bugarium that will allow visitors to "Be the Bug." When they approach the Ideum Presenter 65 touch wall, visitors will choose from among three very different bugs. Once the visitors choose their bug, they will be presented with a life-sized mirror image of the bug which tracks and replicates their own movements using a Kinect sensor. After a few minutes admiring themselves as a giant bug in the "mirror," visitors then take on the role of the bug and "fly" to forage or hunt for their food. The activity will be motion-based, so visitors will really get a feel of what it's like to "Be the Bug."
The "Be a Bug" interactive will debut in October 2015 when the new Bugarium opens. To learn more about interactives Ideum has designed and developed, visit our Creative Services page.
