Virtual Pottery Playground: Igniting Creativity
Using a touch screen, visitors can mold and choose up to 6 different types of glazing to free-form paint their creations. Upon completion, the virtual pottery will be sent to one of the 3 holographic kilns where visitors will be able to see the animation of fire heating the pottery. After the heating is complete, the ceramic works will be sent towards a virtual shelf displayed via a big projection on the wall.
Holographic Kilns
Upon completing their virtual masterpieces, the journey takes an enchanting turn. The digital pottery is seamlessly transported into one of three holographic kilns, where visitors can witness the animated spectacle of fiery heat enveloping their crafted works. The culmination of this virtual firing process is a mesmerizing display projected onto a prominent wall, showcasing the transformed ceramic creations on a virtual shelf. This dynamic and engaging experience not only introduces children to the art of pottery but also seamlessly merges traditional techniques with cutting-edge technology, creating an immersive and memorable encounter within the museum setting.
