If you want off the shelf expensive exhibit components, then Gesturetek does
have a GX100 "VR" recycling program.  But the hardware and software is
costly (not as costly as the newer projection interactive applications, but
it will probably run you 15k - 20k).

Hi all,

I've been assigned to research some possible educational products,
games, exhibit components, etc. that can be bought inexpensively and
off-the-shelf to update our Recycling exhibit.  However, I'm having a
hard time finding anything interactive that visitors can manipulative
themselves without staff involvement.  Does anyone have any suggestions,
web links or catalogs to look at?

Thanks!
Bethany
