Chicago Maps
Exhibit Raises the Bar for Interactive Signage
By John W. DeWitt
 A recent exhibit at The Field Museum in Chicago took
digital signage to new levels of sophisticated interactivity with
Maps: Finding Our Place in the World, a three-month exhibit
running from November 2007 through January 2008. Combining the latest
navigation software and interactive digital signage technology with
3,000 years of maps, the museum and its exhibit partners explored
cartography through the ages, cleverly portraying not only how far
navigation has come, but also what the future holds in store. The
interactive application highlight: using infrared lights and cameras to
triangulate the position of multiple visitors’ fingers as they touched
a video wall of six 46in. NEC LCDs. more>>
