Limud Interactive Tables - designed by Potion
Taking their name from the Yiddish word for learning, the Limud Tables are storytelling interactives created for the Museum at Eldridge Street, a cultural institution residing within a restored synagogue on Manhattan's Lower East Side. The interactive tables educate visitors about the Synagogue and the historical community of the Lower East Side. Potion’s interactive software highlight the museum’s important history, location and architecture. Potion created a map based on the layout of the historical Lower East Side. Meticulously constructed 3-D models recreate important neighborhood sites from the turn of the century, offering visitors stories of Jewish immigrant life at these historic sites. In addition to stories, each table also contains interactive activities, such as a game that engages children in the reconstruction of the synagogue’s stained glass window.
Each Limud Table consists of two pieces: a custom-designed wooden table that serves as the point of interaction, and a large format LCD display upon which the stories are presented. Because the museum is housed within the Eldridge Street Synagogue, Potion designed the interactive tables with careful attention to their environment, allowing them to be easily turned off and to blend into the background during services.
