Secure and interactive digital technologies to educate and entertain
Location: Sydney, Australia
Client: Powerhouse Museum (MAAS)
The Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, Australia is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, catering to approximately 380,000 visitors annually. Operating under the umbrella of Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences (MAAS), it is a true modern-day museum, integrating the latest in interactive digital technologies to educate and entertain the public.
The use of interactive technology allows the museum to support their exhibits with additional information including videos, interviews, stories and games. This is particularly beneficial for the large number of primary and secondary school children who pass through the museum each year.
