This past weekend was the annual conference for the American Association of Museums. I believe that this is the largest conference and exposition in the country for this market. Even considering the current economic turmoil, the exhibit hall was filled with vendors and museums sharing their wares and offerings. We were among the vendors exhibiting and met many new prospects and saw many customers.
This year we introduced several new products. Our newest game, Order Sorter, allows players to drag and drop a group of images into the correct order. Our new kiosk design, the Glacier Bay, is unique in that it’s base is designed with a transparent opening allowing our customers to fill this area with fun objects that will compliment the exhibit (i.e. plastic bottles for a recycling exhibit).
Our most exciting introduction has to be our new i-Viewer “Do It Yourself” interactive, touch screen program product. In an effort to address the current economy and assist customers in having a more hands on approach to their interactive programs, we are expanding our “DIY” product line. These products are easy to use and very affordable.
The exhibit floor didn’t offer much in “new” technology but we did have some interesting meetings with some unique hardware vendors about possible collaborative products that could be very exciting. The 3D movies that were shown by several vendors were great and my daughter (who joined me for the show) really loved the creative playground equipment.
