Exhibit: Peter Rabbit's Garden
Venue: International touring exhibit
Location: North America and Japan
Date: 2002
Client: Lord Cultural Resources

Visitor Experience: Over 400,000 visitors to the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History in Washington interacted with the touring exhibit "Peter Rabbit's Garden." Given its high volume of activity, this exhibit required Mystus's expertise in interactive hardware and installation. The visitor experience features sophisticated features such as a virtual 'walk' through a 360 panorama of Potter's famous "Hill Top" garden and a giant projected storybook. While the software of this project was created and developed outside Mystus, our clients required a timely approach to the flawless operation of the exhibit. Mystus created a pre-tested, customized system that automatically detects problems and shuts the hardware off. With solutions like these, Mystus provides security and peace of mind for touring exhibits.

Client Requirements: Our clients required timely and customized solutions to support the flawless operation of the exhibit's features.

Mystus Expertise: Mystus provided expertise in hardware and interactive installation development and pre-testing to produce the back-up system under a tight deadline.

Unique Features: To protect a costly UPS projection system and other sophisticated hardware, we developed a battery-operated back up that automatically senses power loss and continues to run the system for five minutes while shutting down.

*Project Challenges: To create a custom, fully operational, pre-tested system under a very tight deadline.
