About the Exhibition
Should parents know the genome of their future or newborn child? What keeps you awake? How does your body perform all of its amazing tasks? Step inside the Hall of Human Life to explore such far-reaching questions. Learn more about yourself and other organisms, including your friends and family.
The 10,000-square-foot permanent exhibition features dozens of activities that explore the way the human body works and how we can affect or be affected by the changing world around us.
About the Software
The Hall of Human Life has one interactive software experience that I helped develop in collaboration with a team of educators.
Exhibit Interactive Software Experience
Created using Unity and Visual Studio with C# and Kinect 2.0 SDK
Microbes and You
A full-body experience using the Kinect that lets visitors learn about the bacteria, viruses, and fungi that form their microbiome. The interaction is triggered by standing in a specific spot, then a visitor's body and organs are visualized with a randomized selection of microbes on a large TV screen. The visualization tracks a person as they move within a small area. If tracking is lost or very poor, the visualization will fade out but can be shown again if tracking improves.
