multimedia museum exposition

There is something so liberating in the idea of being able to soar through the sky and explore the world from a new perspective. It's also a testament to our ingenuity and creativity that we can even make something like flight possible. It's a reminder that we are capable of so much more than we often give ourselves credit for. The exposition looks back to the time before the start of mass industrial production of aircraft, and highlights the "golden age" of aviation. It emphasizes that the history of aviation is still ongoing, and that there is still much to be discovered. The exposition is spread across two floors and features 25 multimedia zones.

2D ANIMATION

The museum features several animated videos that tell the story of how human culture developed the desire to conquer the sky. The theme of flight has fascinated humanity for centuries and continues to this day, reflected in myths, legends, and modern culture.

3D ANIMATION

The development of engineering and the complexity of aircraft are showcased in the exhibition, moving from animated graphics to realistic 3D graphics. To ensure accurate and detailed storytelling, many experts were involved in the exhibition's development. 3D models and animations were developed in accordance with real drawings, and simulations of aircraft operations were created based on archival footage from aviation museums and institutes.

INTERACTIVE ZONES

Visitors can experience flight simulators for controlling airplanes and hot air balloons, an interactive projection book, birds brought to life in VR, and much more. We have tried to engage visitors as much as possible by using kinect sensors, binoculars, motion sensors, mechanical structures with movable doors, buttons, trackballs, as well as holographic fans.
