Innovative Interaction

The future of computing may not involve traditional computers but computing will become increasingly pervasive in our lives. In the museum environment, innovative interactive exhibits are pushing the boundaries of computing.

• 'Metamorphomatic' is a butterfly simulation allowing visitors to create their own butterfly and watch it develop during its life cycle.
