Antikythera Mechanism Exhibit

In Collaboration with Rich Miller and John Schimmel, for installation in the Ancient Greece exhibit at the Children's Museum of Manhattan.

This project consists of two touch sensitive kiosks, which allow users to view and experience the antikythera device.  This device is currently thought to be one of the earliest computers, designed by the greeks as a timepiece, it is one of the earliest uses of gears on record.  In conjunction with HP research, I was involved in integrating the hardware with PTM technology HP had developed for viewing pre-photographed objects in a multitude of different lighting conditions.

Above is a picture of the installation in progress.  It is now alive and active in CMOM, and will be installed for at least another year and a half.
