The Wonder of Light at The Smithsonian

The Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. is now using innovation from Microsoft Surface to showcase some really amazing exhibits. The Microsoft Surface strategic partner InfoStrat, along with the museum staff, created a series of seven applications that are featured at the museum.

Opening today, “The Wonder of Light: Touch and Learn!” exhibit is located in the center of the Castle’s historic Great Hall. Featuring historic objects from the Smithsonian museums showcased along with objects children can literally touch and feel to interact with Surface – it creates a learning experience like no other. The Microsoft Surface tabletop allows kids to gather around freely and the massive multi-touch capabilities provides easy access to all their fingers can grasp.
