These futuristic interactive, interchangeable exhibit displays are custom made to house any or all of the accompanying health & medical exhibits in this on-line catalog.  These exhibits can be purchased as sections with your choice of exhibits housed in them, or in their entirety.    They can be created as demonstration units or as interactive units. The main descriptions below are for interactive units.

For each of the below exhibits there are a number of interactive elements. These are in the form of animated graphic panels, electronic interactive models that allow the visitor to become involved in an activity that draws them into the exhibit experience, and DAST technology that allows the exhibit to verbally interact with the user. These interactive elements are based on technologies that have been used in our other exhibit designs and allow the exhibits to behave with lifelike responses. Some elements are touch sensitive, some are light sensitive. While still others create the impression that the exhibits have other life like properties. They are user friendly to all ages, physical statures and disabilities.
 
Each exhibit contains buttons that are color coded to the corresponding interactive panels so that visitors do not have to reach across the model to make the panels respond.

Please note: Corner Units consist of two related categories which are represented by a minimum of 8 graphic panels and their respective models.

Additional Written Description

Many of the elements that help to make exhibits accessible to a wide range of age groups and types of physical statures are also universally appropriate for visitors with disabilities.

Examples of this are outlined below in the basic description of the Health Demonstration Theater Exhibits.

As the illustrations have shown, the overall height of the exhibit cases are approximately 7’ 6”, which is higher than the tallest average adult visitor.

The upper potion of the cases are recessed to avoid head impacts from visitors leaning towards the control panel of the exhibits. Protrusions are added at the top for accent lighting, well out of range of impact. This factor relates well to people with visual disabilities who could easily misjudge the distance of the upper case section when using the control panel. As many people often crowd in to see an exhibit, or in an excited state cramp movements of others, such design is desirable for regular visitors as well.

The lower panels are sloped for ease of use and accessibility. Their height is kept to approximately 34 inches at the front, which relates to the height of; adults,  small children, and people in wheelchairs. The upward tilt of the control panel aids visual interpretation and presents an attractive attribute, while allowing easy reach of the controls. To increase accessibility, the bottom front of the cases are tilted inwards to accommodate foot room or wheelchair foot rests. Over time this factor will also present an added advantage in the reduction of scrapes and dings along the bottom edge.

The text and graphic panels also follow the angle of the front base plan to visually relate to the visitor.
The exhibits interlock to form a continuous run so people with low vision will not be confused by turning into a terminating corner of an exhibit. The basic design follows the walls and does not provide confusing obstacle risks,  in fact the design helps create a barrier free format. Regardless of a designer's enthusiasm such factors are always important to consider, as confusing shapes can seem to be a maze to people with low vision.

The control panel buttons are large and illuminated. The primary start button is also in the right lower corner of each control panel section, so that people with visual disabilities, or others who can not read, can simply be told to look or feel for the start switch, which they will always find in the same location. All controls are placed in easy reach along the front of the panel.

Each exhibit also features a solid state recording device, that at the push of a button, will verbally describe the function, or purpose of the exhibit. In this case DAST integrated circuits were chosen. Care was taken to select higher resolution DAST chips that operate in the 8K sampling rate for near recording clarity. DAST chips use EEPROM storage so the recordings can be updated with ease. Updating is as easy as a push of a couple buttons and speaking into a microphone. The EEPROM storage will retain their recordings for a theoretical period of one hundred years. Such integration relates to the very young, the illiterate and the visually disabled by adding an informative human quality to exhibits. DAST chips are addressable through ten bit words, which can be generated easily. This allows the chips to give multiple messages as needed. Many other voice recording technologies are also available with varying degrees of performance so first hand testing is always advisable.

Three dimensional models that can be touched are also a part of the concept both as informational aids and to relate to visual disabilities by presenting a tactile element.

For each graphic and text the contrast is kept high.  Lettering is as large as can practically fit and vivid colors are used.

It must always be understood that visual disabilities vary and are not an absolute. Many people have partial loss and simply need more contrast or other dynamic touches to aid their vision.

Fortunately novel case angles, interesting colors, high contrast and speech capability are also greatly appealing to regular visitors. Good designs can be made truly universal, without drastic cost increases or diminished design.

 Technical Overviews

 
 Each exhibit uses a combination of graphics, models and electronics to portray each subject. The majority of the lighting is comprised of the new super bright LED technology combined with support electronics that incorporate sensors and special animated functions. The robotic attributes of the exhibit will be actuated by servos that will pull the limb up and down inducing the artificial muscles to expand and contract.
 
Case Design Technical Basics:
 
Each exhibit case is fabricated with high quality  material that is scratch resistant, we never use pressed wood products. All  components are screwed or bolted and glued. The glue we use is a strong and pliable rubberized adhesive that offers rigidity and flexibility, this results in a product that is strong and resistant to loosening and cracking of the adhesive bonds. The base decorative recess panels and auxiliary control panels are thick 1/8” brushed aluminum. The display shelves and doors are run on ball bearing slides and counterbalanced to reduce stress on the electromechanical mechanisms. The servos for each shelf and door feature lathe turned constant pressure roller mechanisms which move the doors and shelves but act as a slip clutch under stress to prevent breakage or pinching. The control is initiated by IR. (infrared remote). The receivers contain sensor and decoder circuitry combined with relays and DMOS technology to operate specific functions. The power supplies are linear regulated supplies which operate at 12 VDC, 8 VDC and 5 VDC respectively  to each function. The main power is standard 120 VAC. All electronic components are D-rated to drastically increase life. Whenever possible the lights are super bright LEDS which last for many years without need of replacement as they are a cool solid state light source that illuminates a semiconductor instead of a power sapping, short life incandescent filament.  EEPROM impressed speech is created using DAST technology integrated circuits developed by ISD (Information Storage Devices) interfaced with our digital address matrix and amplification circuit producing natural speech with no moving parts to wear out. In theory, according to ISD, the voice impression on the integrated circuits can last in storage up to one hundred years. While this is not guaranteed by ISD, the claim does point out the fact that impressing voice and sound on a chip can well surpass mechanical recording technology in dependability. Sound effects for the exhibit are produced by oscillators and amplifiers.  The Heart monitor and sound monitor circuit are produced with our proprietary sensor, amplification and oscillator circuit combined with computerized oscilloscope technology and video signal processing.  Backlit displays are photo translucent renderings of our graphic arts images with electronically actuated solid state light sources.  Plastic covers for the images are unbreakable polycarbinate.
