ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
Based upon what I could gather from the YouTube clip, here are my thoughts
about why people aren't as drawn to this exhibit as they could be:
1) The LCD screens are too small for the size of the exhibit;
2) Too many menus to go through before you get to do something;
3) You actually don't have much control over the experience. The only thing
you can do is change the speed at which you pedal. That alters the rate at
which a canned video plays back. This is a nice one-minute experience but
pretty soon people will get bored and move on because it doesn't seem like
they can significantly affect the experience. Its a pretty good one-minute
experience, but nothing unexpected comes of it.
