The Whispering Dishes on Market Street generate a fascinating range of uses by the public. It's intriguing to watch people puzzle out what they are, explain them to complete strangers, and invent creative ways to use them. They're social glue, used by everyone from families to tech workers to street folk.

Ideum collaborated with Exploratorium’s Global Studios on a project that drew us outside of the realm of multitouch table development. We built a series of highly customized interactives for the Kayseri Science Center in Turkey. In "Star Colors," visitors play a game to learn about star identification. Embedded in each of the three prop “telescopes” is a small LCD screen where visitors can “view” the stars hanging in front of them. Through a series of prompts received on the Windows Surface Tablet touch display, visitors try to correctly identify stars based on their spectral patterns. Ideum fabricated and tested the telescopes here in New Mexico. Photo courtesy the Exploratorium.
