Interactive education with Ventuz graphics software at the National Museum in Prague

The permanent natural sciences exhibition at the National Museum in Prague features two educational and interactive installations composed of Ventuz graphics software integrated by the Czech specialist Xlab in eyevis touch display systems.

Interactive technology offers great opportunities for museums not only as added value so that the visitor participates more and enriches their experience., but also to save costs, since the initial investment is profitable in the short term, the exhibition model is more effective with quick and easy exchange of digital content, and avoid unnecessary additional purchases.

For this reason, it is increasingly common for museum managers around the world to adopt independent interactive installations in their spaces., as happens with the National Museum in Prague, the most important in this city of the Czech Republic, located in a neo-renaissance building in the central Wenceslas Square.

In its natural sciences and environment exhibition area, called 'Noah's Ark', The museum has two powerful multitouch installations with the graphic software of sucker installed by Czech specialist Xlab.

The first of them is a multi-touch table, developed by the German manufacturer eyevis, which allows up to four simultaneous users to open individual windows to navigate through a large number of European national parks and receive information in text form, videos and infographics.

The other installation is configured on a video wall, composed of six high definition screens with eyevis technology, which can be operated from a touch screen, from which visitors can spin a digital globe and click on their specific interests, such as geographic locations, habitats or species in danger of extinction. The content on the chosen topic – images, texts, graphics, maps and animations – displayed on the video wall.

Xlab chose Ventuz for this project not only because of the power of graphic design and reliability of its software., but also because it allows seamless communication, with an optimized real-time workflow, with content and library management tools.

For those responsible for the National Museum in Prague, it was of utmost importance that its own staff could change the content. Xlab has developed a personalized system in this regard for easy handling, giving them full control over their facilities.
