Scope $

Exhibit designers at the museum wanted an area to engage young visitors with space and sound. They made a listening space that was soft and inviting with controllable atmospheric lighting.

MorrowSound designed an audio control system that let museum staff cue sounds from a playlist and position those sounds around around the room. Museum staff can then invite in a group, close the doors and change to ambient lighting, and then play the sounds of say a farm or a forest, and then ask visitors "what animal is that?" and "where are we now?" and "where do you hear the duck coming from?"
