Exploratorium - Future of Interface

On the right wall there is a timeline of the evolution of virtual reality. Running along the side of the room is a wide rail that includes braille descriptions for each item displayed. Along the left wall there are pillars with small statues depicting different milestones in interface history. These are tactile and can be felt. In the middle of the room there is a large round bowl shaped exhibit that includes a hologram of a person using virtual reality goggles. Explanations of the exhibit are provided on the sides of the exhibit in both print and braille. There are people moving throughout the exhibit including an individual who is using a wheelchair and an individual who is using a white cane and reading a braille translation.
