Penguin Chill at the ABQ BioPark is a new, groundbreaking, immersive exhibit designed by Ideum (Corrales, N.M.), that whisks visitors onto a sub-Antarctic research expedition.
Ideum (Corrales, N.M.) was part of the project team on the recently-opened Journey Through the Human Brain exhibition at the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium in West Palm Beach. The firm's creative services and media systems teams spent more than a year designing, developing and installing two of the exhibition's most immersive and technically sophisticated experiences. These two exhibits—"Deep Dive Into the Brain" and "Brain Development Wall"—were both designed for multiple simultaneous users.
The Exploring Pueblo Pottery project was designed by Ideum to use state-of-the-art technology to allow people to explore traditional design techniques in vibrant new ways and learn about the culture and history behind the images as part of the process.
