[BCMA] Interactive Displays

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi Tammy, 

If you need some technical advice I can give you the contact for our locomotive simulator tech support. The simulator is a computer based interactive program complete with touchscreen and does not rely on the internet to operate. Our techie is Darrin Smith from LiveRide Systems in Nelson. He would be a good person to contact for ideas and could look after design and installation too. Best to reach him by email at darrinsmith at liveridesystems.com 

All the best with the project.

Hello Tammy, 



I don’t have personal experience but the Peel Art Gallery, Museum and Archives ( http://www.pama.peelregion.ca/en/aboutpama/contactus.asp ) has an great interactive tabletop with a similar software as to what you are looking at. They’re in Ontario but may be a place to start.

Hi, Everyone, 



I have somehow managed to get co-opted onto a committee working to establish a local Sports Wall of Fame. They have plans for an interactive digital format presented on a touch-screen monitor, with sections for the history of various sports and sports facilities and biographies of the inductees. The idea is that viewers can choose which sports or which people they want to learn about by touching menu options. The committee talks about a website, but I think that might be non-techie speak and that it wouldn’t necessarily need Internet access as long as all the content is accessible in one unit. The content will include text, still photos, and video I’m assuming there will be audio associated with some of them), and it will be displayed indoors at the local Rec Centre. 



Does anyone have any experience with display units like this? Any lessons-learned advice, awesome suppliers, etc to suggest? 



Thanks! 



Tammy
