Traditionally, lighting fixtures require support from lamp holders, poles, or hanging wires. "Suspension," however, completely breaks down this inherent physical connection, bringing a visual shock and a sense of spiritual liberation that defies everyday experience. When a light bulb detaches from all visible support structures, floating silently in mid-air and emitting a warm glow, it transcends its simple function of illumination, transforming into a highly symbolic artistic icon: representing lightness, freedom, a futuristic feel, and a new state of being that technology bestows upon matter. This ability to transform functional objects into the core of a poetic scene is a crucial expression of contemporary technological art. Our "Magnetic Levitation Light Bulb" art installation (φ1400*2600mm) aims to create such a breathtaking, immersive moment. The entire experience is designed with a sense of ritual: after pressing the start button, the raising and lowering of the bracket and the
Humanity's quest for the Earth-Sun distance is an epic tale brimming with wisdom. From Aristarchus's rough estimate based on lunar phases, to Kepler's laws providing the theoretical framework, and then to precise triangulation measurements utilizing opportunities such as Venus transits and near-Earth asteroids, each improvement in accuracy signifies an expansion of the boundaries of human knowledge and a deepening understanding of the cosmic order. This value, known as the "astronomical unit," is not only a fundamental constant in physics but also the "first milestone" in civilization's measurement of its place in the universe. Understanding its measurement history is understanding how humanity, with limited tools, has gradually unraveled the mysteries of the infinite universe. Our "Distance Between Earth and the Sun" exhibit condenses this millennia-long scientific history onto a 3-meter-long interactive platform. You are no longer passively receiving a number but can "choose" to ent
The beauty of the aurora lies in its ever-changing colors and graceful, flowing forms. It is not only a scientific phenomenon but also nature's most outstanding work of light and shadow art. Transforming this fleeting, unattainable celestial phenomenon into an interactive art form that can be manipulated and repeatedly appreciated requires a technological medium capable of precisely converting electrical energy into specific spectra and dynamic light shapes. By simulating particle excitation processes, we can capture a fleeting glimpse of the aurora's essence within a controlled space. The "Aurora" exhibit (1500*1100*2000mm) is precisely such an immersive light and shadow installation that blends technology and aesthetics. It invites you to become the "creator" of the aurora, not merely a viewer. Once activated, you can be completely immersed in the tranquil yet magnificent atmosphere created by this luminous pillar. Gently turning the delicate electrical knob, you take control of thi
The core of an immersive experience lies in giving participants a clear role and objective, and in the process of achieving that objective, closely linking their physical actions with sensory feedback. Transforming cutting-edge electromagnetic railgun technology into an interactive game hinges on constructing a complete behavioral loop of "loading-aiming-firing-hit feedback," and enhancing the physical perception and psychological sense of accomplishment of each operation through audiovisual effects. Participants are no longer bystanders, but rather "ace operators" driving this technological demonstration. Stepping into our designed "electromagnetic railgun" experience cabin (3100*3100*3000mm), you enter a technologically advanced simulated combat position. Your mission is clear: use this device, propelled by electromagnetic pulses, to hit a virtual target on the screen in front of you that is constantly changing in position, speed, and even trajectory. The sense of ritual is establis
Understanding mathematics is not merely about memorizing its conclusions, but also about comprehending its dynamic construction process and inherent causal logic. The graph of a formula is a collection of countless points satisfying certain conditions; its drawing process is essentially a traversal and demonstration of spatial possibilities under these logical constraints. When a robotic arm executes this traversal process in an observable, physical way, it externalizes the continuous changes and spatial relationships implicit in the formula into a ritualistic generative narrative over a period of time. Watching the drawing process is like watching an idea being gradually visualized. The "Beauty of Formulas" exhibit meticulously designs this ritual of "visualizing thought." On the compact display stand, after selecting a formula, you will experience three levels of cognitive engagement: first, you will intuitively understand the formula's "intention" through animation; then, as the cl
Advances in modern materials science and thermal engineering have enabled us to precisely shape and control the temperature field of an object's surface, creating localized thermal environments that transcend natural experience. This provides an ideal experimental platform for studying human thermal perception. By establishing a stable, directional temperature gradient on a single conductor, we can make different parts of the same object exhibit drastically different thermal states. When the human hand, a sophisticated biosensor, comes into contact with this, the "contradictory" information collected by its distributed network of temperature receptors conflicts with the temperature model in the brain based on everyday experience, thus sparking cognitive curiosity and exploration. The "Knowing Cold and Hot" exhibit is a clever application of this principle. In this 1200*650*1050mm device, a special metal tube, under the action of a hidden temperature control system, maintains a constan
Gravity is the downward pulling force that no object on Earth can escape. The core of electromagnetic levitation technology is to create a continuous, controllable upward force to precisely counteract gravity and achieve stable levitation. This is typically achieved through the interaction between an electromagnet and a controlled object (containing magnetic materials or conductors). The system needs to monitor the position of the levitated object in real time and quickly adjust the current of the electromagnet through a feedback loop, thereby generating a magnetic force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to gravity, "locking" the object at a certain equilibrium point in the air. Essentially, this is a dynamic and precise force balance, an elegant victory of magnetism over gravity. Our "Magnetic Levitation Light Bulb" exhibit transforms a transparent device, 1.4 meters in diameter and 2.6 meters high, into the stage for this "anti-gravity magic." When you press the start but
The scale of astronomical measurements often surpasses human intuitive imagination. The average distance between the Earth and the Sun—approximately 150 million kilometers—is defined as an "astronomical unit," serving as our primary yardstick for measuring the solar system and beyond. However, the real challenge in understanding this number lies not only in its spatial distance but also in its temporal delay. Even at the speed of light (300,000 kilometers per second), it would take approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel from the Sun to Earth. This means that the Sun as we see it "at this moment" is actually what it looked like 8 minutes ago. The "Earth-Sun distance" is not merely a length but also a "depth of time" defined by the speed of light. Our interactive exhibit, "The Distance Between the Earth and the Sun" (3000*800*1200mm), aims to make this abstract astronomical scale tangible and understandable. Visitors can choose from historically significant measurement methods
When high-energy charged particles ejected from the sun reach Earth's magnetic field, are guided towards the poles, and collide with atoms in the upper atmosphere, one of Earth's most magnificent natural light shows—the aurora—is born. Different gaseous components (such as oxygen and nitrogen), when excited, release light of specific wavelengths. Oxygen atoms primarily produce green and red light, while nitrogen molecules contribute blue and violet light. Essentially, this is a giant "fluorescent" phenomenon occurring hundreds of kilometers above the Earth. Understanding the aurora is understanding the epic energy transformation between the particle stream from the sun, Earth's magnetic field, and the thin atmosphere. Our interactive "Aurora" exhibit brings this cosmic drama from the poles to your doorstep within a 1.5-meter-high vacuum-sealed acrylic tube. Using safe and controlled high-voltage discharge technology, we simulate the process of particles exciting gases inside the tube.
Mathematics, often considered the pinnacle of abstraction and rationality, possesses a stunning beauty of form and structure at its core. From the elegant undulations of a sine wave to the infinite details of a fractal, each exquisite formula corresponds to a unique spatial logic and visual pattern. However, traditional learning methods often stop at symbolic derivation, failing to intuitively perceive the aesthetic impact of its graphical representation. Liberating the beauty of mathematics from abstract symbols, making it a visible and tangible art, is key to bridging rational cognition and sensory appreciation. Our interactive exhibit, "The Beauty of Formulas," bridges this gap within a delicate 400*400*600mm space. Visitors first select a mathematical formula on a touchscreen, ranging from classic sine and cosine to the graceful rose curve. The system then uses multimedia animation to explain the formula's geometric meaning and generative logic. Next, the exhibit's core precision
