I built a Morse Code Detector for the Ft Morgan Museum. The user taps the key on the bottom right, and a controller translates the dots and dashes and displays it on the screen. It takes some getting used to but once you get the hang of it its really fun!
I finished the Pirate Ship in time for Talk Like a Pirate Day. Here be some of me crew!
Designed and built an antique looking switchboard panel for the Golden History Museum. To be used as an “escape room” style puzzle piece. Users collect letter/number clues from other exhibits around the room and patch them into the switchboard panel. If they have the right combo a secret recording will play for them. Letter/number combinations can be easily rearanged to be able to change the puzzle frequently for repeat visitors.
Created an immersive lighting and sound system for a redesigned space at the WY State Museum.
Colorful sun rises in the Eastern corner, then the room gradually fills with light for the daytime. Lights start to fade out from the East, and a colorful sunset in the west makes the transition to night time. Set for 10 minutes of daytime, 3 Minutes of nighttime – but easy to change the lengths.
During the day there is an ambient soundtrack of daytime wildlife, that switches over to a night time soundtrack at night. A campfire and lantern also turn on at night to provide a little bit of lighting in the room.
12 push buttons trigger specific animal sound effects from speakers located near their locations around the room.
Upgraded exhibits at the FT. Morgan Museum to make them interactive and responsive. Including automating an old windmill to run when the visitors trip a motion detector.
