Description:
This program is designed as a support to the main thumper activity. Visitors will raise the thumper shaft and slam it down to produce the shock waves subsequently visible on the oscilloscope. This program also responds to the thump with a visual flurry and prompts the visitor to look at the oscilloscope screen. Visitors can also access more information about geophones and how they are used by pressing the two pushbuttons. The information sequence includes many pages of text, images, video clips and animations. Visitors can page back and forth through the sequence. When no visitor interaction is sensed for a couple of minutes the program reverts to an attract loop of images interspersed with a recurring title page.
