The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago just replaced their old, yet cherished, walk-through heart with one that holds interactivity in a modern fashion. This new 14-foot steel wall hanging has the image of a human heart beating projected onto its surface. Place your hand on the pulse station’s hand grips and the animated heart will match your pulse. More interactivity of this heart displays the inner anatomy and the electrical function that will keep education entertaining. This technological wonder is part of the new, 15,000-square-foot permanent exhibit pinned “You! The Experience”. Scheduled to open October 8th, the exhibit is designed to showcase for visitors how the human body works and how to make better decisions regarding health and mental well-being.
Tom Hennes, president of the New York design firm Thinc, is the new exhibit’s primary designer. Furthermore, the “Inner Life of the Cell” creator David Bolinsky, and his team, XVIVO, were involved in creating this new exhibit. Wait, there is one more part: David Bolinski is visiting our program and in the main guest speaker in this year’s Frank Armitage Lecture which is presented by the Biomedical Visualization to show new technologies in our field.

“My experience working with XVIVO can be summed up in one word: Confidence. Confidence in what the quality of the final animation would be, as well as confidence in their recommendations in regard to executing the animation from the initial pre-production meetings throughout the life of the project, until the final delivery. Confidence from the very first day that they would do what they said, when they said they would do it, and deliver high quality multimedia on time, and on budget.”
