CARRIAGE MUSEUM
Macerata / Italy. In collaboration with VideoArt Studio Ennezerotre N!03.
A virtual trip by carriage
The visitors have the chance to take a virtual trip inside a real carriage prepared with several screens. By inserting one of 14 postcards into a small slot the chosen trip begins.
Each postcard has a printed symbol on its back that were recognized by the computer attached to the carriage simulator (see pictures below). The postcards were also used as an invitation to the exibition.
A narrators voice talks about the landscape while the carriage slightly shakes its passengers around to enhance the feeling of being on a real trip.
A touchscreen in front of the simulator contained details, sightseeings and maps about the 14 comunes that can be discovered.
