September is already upon us, summer is apparently over and the supermarkets are already preparing for Christmas… With that in mind we thought it could be a good time to look at some of the projects we’ve completed in recent months. So let’s go!

We’ve been commissioned numerous times over the years by The National Showcaves – becoming their primary AV consultant in the process and supplying various interpretive hardware and software solutions designed to educate and entertain visitors of all ages.

Here you can see the ‘underwater viewing point’ which utilises a 55″ outdoor touchscreen and bespoke software to view mock underwater CCTV cameras and learn about prehistoric sea creatures.

We continue to work closely with Smith and Jones Design Consultants, who were tasked with an overhaul of the the reception area for the National Oceanography Centre.

Here you can see numerous touchscreens using our Lightbox 3 software package and video units that introduce visitors to all of the impressive work the National Oceanography Centre does.

Another collaboration with Smith & Jones Design Consultants, saw us fitting out Bryngarw Country Park’s new Visitor Centre.

Here again you’ll see some great use of touchscreens with Lightbox 3 as well as more bespoke video units that utilise RFID to allow objects (in this case wooden graphics slabs) to activate content. There’s also a nice outdoor digital A-Board and other more hands on interactives.

We supplied 2 bespoke video units for the impressive Bentley Priory Museum’s recreation of a WW2 Filter Room, where information received from radar stations along the coast would be relayed to Operations Rooms across the country, essentially co-ordinating the Royal Air Force’s response during the Battle of Britain.

Founded in 1974, the LGBT+ helpline ‘Switchboard’ has helped provide support to anybody who needs it for many many years. At Queer Britain Museum, one of our Period Telephone audio point brings this history to life…

“We bought the vintage telephone to help bring to life some LGBT+ Switchboard oral histories. It was super easy to set up and our visitors have really been engaging with it. It would be hard to find a more immediate and visceral way to bring these important stories to our audience.”

– Joseph Galliano-Doig, Director/Co-Founder at Queer Britain

Our latest addition to Curraghs Wildlife Park was this Heavy Duty Audio Bench. Made from thick oak and solar powered, this is designed to be readily available any time of the year.

Visitors can press two buttons at any time of the year to listen and learn about the wildlife while enjoying a sit down. The plating has also been engraved with a custom design made by the Supporters of the Curraghs Wildlife Park (SCWP).

Selected by Xzibit and installed into a display of their design, the wind-up powered U-Turn Round allows visitors to the Roma Big Rig tree walk to learn about animals in the surrounding area.

Visitors can simply select a track and turn the crank to hear one of 8 creature calls no matter the time of day, whether it be the nocturnal Sugar Glider or Australia’s iconic Koala Bear.

Our most popular product just got better! In July we produced a new Hearing Loop variant our Heavy Duty Handsets. These impact-resistant and easy to use handheld speakers are embedded with T-Coil technology to allow for hearing aid compatibility and assured compliancy under the UK’s Equality Act.
