Visitor
Experience:
We're All in This Together tells the amazing story of
The United States's historic homefront contributions during
WWII. This large-scale exhibit is comprised of state-specific
kiosks designed to educate visitors about each state's
special role in war production, military training and
other homefront activities. These stories are told through
a wealth of engaging materials such as archival photographs,
video, audio and text materials. Mystus made it all come
to life by employing our full range of products and services.
The kiosk is a beautifully designed, wheelchair accessible,
stand-alone exhibit with a searchable and updateable database,
archived feedback, interactive quiz, and "e-postcard"
function. Ultimately, every state in the US will have
one or more customized kiosk exhibits including hardware
and customized software; a master CD-ROM set, and a video
production of the state Governor's introduction.
