Layers of coal, limestone, sandstone, fossils, and early sea life in the "Walk Through Time." |

Yes, there were once rhinoceroses in Indiana. |
|
The touch screens in "Be a Curator" let visitors rotate objects and zoom in and out to explore archive collections. |
|

|
| |
Mark Trotter, Scott Deal, Dan Ritchie, and Mark Evans tough it out all night the night before opening. |
|
And here's the completed kiosk. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Note the amazingly thin profile interactive housings with clear space below to the floor. No more bulky laminate stuff!
|
|
It is about 100 feet from the ceiling to the bottom of the limestone quarry, which is cross-sectioned to show the compositing over time of the various geological layers of Indiana |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Two 60-foot rear projection screens immerse the visitor in high resolution panoramic MPEG computer animations |
|
32 touchscreens allow interactivity in "Tomorrow's Indiana"; where interactive kiosks are sandwiched between two 60-foot video panorama systems |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Six cross-section towers demonstrate the layering of materials which make up limestone, sandstone, metamorphic, coal, and other layers in Indiana. |

A terrible photo of Mark Trotter performing final adjustments on the thee projector panoramic video system in the Orinetation Theater. We used mirrors to lengthen the optical path of the projectors to the screens to enlarge the image size. It ended up at about 360" x 90" with 5.1 Tannoy sound |

Dale and Amy (Cortina Interactive Productions), Geoff (BP), Ben (19th Star Productions), and Emily (ISM curator of "Tomorrow's Indiana") test touchscreen interactives for the new gallery, which features 42 interactive touchscreen systems, 50 computers, and 11 large Barco video projectors. |

After the prep, seeing eye dog Molly leads Connie on and off camera for "Hoosiers Today".
|

|

Sean, Carter, and Dave set up the green screen stage for shooting the "Hoosiers Today" exhibit, in which the green is eliminated by computer software. The video image is projected on a pane of glass creating the illusion that the talent is walking in the the exhibit space. A six channel sound field surrounds the video with sound bites of what it is like to be a "Hoosier Today". |
|
Diana Bowen (not as romantic about equipment as the rest of us at BT) is pleased to say farewell to the first 12 racks headed to the ISM. |

|
|
| |
Dan (who is so romantic about gear he sees electrons in his dreams) again admiring his handywork in laying out the control room racks and cable tray. Dan has a pic of these racks on his living room wall! |
|
Scott "deals" with some of the over 13 miles of wire terminating in the control room racks. |

Wiring...wiring...wiring away at the Bowen Illinois Street tech facility. |

Some of the 26 channels of Bowen ExhibitFX digital video servers. |

Only we know for sure...are there three Tannoy i5w speakers in here...or are they real frogs? |
|
Looking out over the full size limestone quarry and stone derrik. Visitors will walk through an undersea ambient soundscape two floors below. |
