Interactive Museum Adventure: BrightSign Delivers Immersive Farm Exhibit
In the heart of Fair Oaks, Indiana, Fair Oaks Farms, established in 2004, has transformed its experiential museum with the introduction of BrightSign media players. These innovative devices have streamlined workflows for employees and significantly improved the visitor experience.
BrightSign media players are renowned for their robust performance, capable of supporting high-quality video, interactive touchscreens, and synchronized content across multiple displays. At Fair Oaks Farms, this technology is used to deliver engaging, educational content that captivates visitors, making the exhibits more immersive and informative.
The BrightSign XC4055, one of the media players used at the farm, boasts dual and quad HDMI outputs, 3D WebGL HTML5 performance, and high-quality video capabilities. This versatile device supports multiple use cases at Fair Oaks Farms, from powering Stemmy's Lab, an interactive space for visitors to learn more about agriculture and the dairy industry, to running a projection-mapped forest display that immerses visitors in the way farming and agriculture intersect with the local environment.
The BrightSign XC4055 is powered by the BrightSignOS operating system, guaranteeing long-lasting, reliable performance. This player also allows for a seamless deployment process due to its easy testing in the office and immediate functionality in the museum.
The media players have replaced mini-PCs previously used at the farm, and their ease of access and troubleshooting has allowed staff to spend more time interacting with guests. The media players can be programmed to leverage RFID tagging and motion sensing to trigger specific videos or games for certain visitor groups, adding an extra layer of interactivity.
Looking to the future, the museum at Fair Oaks Farms hopes to explore features that will allow for a more autonomous immersive experience. The BrightSignOS supports the scalability of the system, allowing Fair Oaks Farms to innovate its exhibits without worrying about implementing new technology.
The use of BrightSign media players at Fair Oaks Farms delivers a customised experience for new or repeat guests. For instance, a touchscreen map of the United States allows visitors to learn about dairy farmers in different states. The BrightSign media players have improved the reliability of the exhibits, reducing downtime issues, and have integrated seamlessly with motion sensors to make exhibits more interactive for visitors.
In conclusion, the adoption of BrightSign media players at Fair Oaks Farms has been a game-changer, enhancing the visitor experience and providing dynamic, interactive storytelling that enriches the agricultural and farm life education offered at the museum.
