This company offers a variety of interactive display screens, signage, etc. specifically designed for exhibits and similar spaces.

This is about a new, cheaper, easier, and more effective approach to projections in a dome (projection on a spherical mirror). I think something like this would be an investment that the museum could continue to use for future exhibits beyond pachacamac. A quick online search shows that this approach is about $10,000 cheaper than the traditional projection approach (projecting through a fisheye lens). other benefits of this system are that you can get away with using the cheapest projectors, the center of the dome (optimum viewing spot) is left clear, and there is no chromatic distortion at the edges.

This is an interesting paper on how to effectively use digital media specifically for cultural heritage applications.

These are a bunch of projects going on at cornell that deal with cloth simulation and virtual fit. While reading through these, I discovered this guy:

He has written a lot about fabric simulation

This company set up an interactive mirror a few months ago at the flagship macys in nyc to allow customers to virtually try on garments. I am in touch with a representative from that company because I think it would be really cool to allow our customers to virtually try on some garments that will be exhibited. I am also trying to track down someone at macys who can give me some feedback as to how customers reacted and how effective it was. when I physically went to the store some employees said that it was pretty polular, I have called a few people from the company and left some messages but haven’t learned much yet.

If anyone has any idea why I can no longer make links, PLEASE help me!
