The total number of audio-visual and digital interactive exhibits within this Lot is 5. This lot combines two different media types and techniques, including a Pepper's Ghost and interactive projections mapped onto props in the Tudor and Stuart gallery. In this instance the use of media is integrated with the physical set and replica objects, meaning that these digital tools will be combined with tactile user experiences. These installations will juxtapose physical props and objects with specially-designed digital projections, soundscapes and 3D models to create a theatrical experience that appeals to all the senses. The high quality of illustrations and graphics will make these installations ‘magic moments’ during the gallery experience. The total number of audio-visual and digital interactive exhibits within this Lot is 2. All four galleries make use of projections and animations at key moments, to help build atmosphere and a sense of place and break down the barriers between the museum and the natural environments.
