Apple Epcot Center Demo
This project was created as an exhibit for the Apple Computer booth at the Epcot Center and is currently running on 12 PowerMacintosh computers. It is a completely functional hands-on experience that allows viewers to interact with key Apple technologies.
An Attract Loop ran continuously to gain attention of the viewers and tell them what they could experience on the computers. On screen messages were positioned as end user benefits as opposed to technical terminology. When the Viewer clicked to the main menu they were given three choices:
Create - Communicate - Navigate
These choices lead down to interactive hands-on dub demos that showed end user benefits of the computer in an engaging and entertaining way.
Hands-on Demonstrations
Surf the Internet:
Created a custom browser to access selected web sites with a live internet connection.
Call Via Computer:
Viewers can call other stations or phone numbers via the computer utilizing Apple's GeoPort technology.
Create in 3D:
created a hands-on custom demo application for Quick Draw 3D technology where viewers can manipulate 3 dimensional models and instantly apply textures, movies or live video.
Explore Virtual Reality:
Used the CD title Star Trek Interactive Technical Manual to demonstrate QuickTime VR technology.
Make a Movie:
Viewers can record a short clip of themselves then edit it with other existing footage in a simple video editor.
