An Extraordinary Educational Centre

The Elemental Engine Room is an extraordinary educational centre dedicated to the elements that have shaped our world for centuries. In the foreground is the fascinating history of water - this important source of life, which not only plays a key role in our everyday life but also has an extremely important meaning in the historical context. This place reminds us of the times when water from Tarnowskie Góry became an indispensable resource for the developing Upper Silesian conurbation. It is also a space for the so-called ecological education. The latest technologies and innovations that make life easier are designed to shape everyday habits and behaviours thanks to which we can take care of our environment. And in a very innovative way. Karlik and Gwarek take you on a journey in the footsteps of the elements (with an emphasis on water). The characters were created after the game Minecraft, popular among children.

Cleverlive System – Inside the Capsule

This is where many solutions from the well-known AV brand Clevertouch have been installed. Immediately upon entering the building on the left side, visitors to the centre are greeted by the so-called Capsule. This is a small cinema room. When a group of viewers gathers inside, electrically operated blinds are lowered, and material about the elements and ecology in various aspects is presented. The playback of the material is managed by the Clevertouch PICO XI digital signage player, connected to a laser projector, controlled by a Cleverlive system. 

The fact that the player can be connected to not only Clevertouch's monitor, provides much more functionality and capability to the whole platform. We can connect it not only to third-party monitors but also to other display devices, such as a projector.

A quick walk-through

• Slightly further up, on the upper level, the Clevertouch CM Pro 55" screen is mounted. These solutions can be mounted both horizontally or vertically. The screen has a built-in digital signage system so that we can fully manage the displayed content via the Cleverlive platform.
   
• In the central area on the lower floor, five large-format monitors and interactive screens take centre stage. Five 86" digital signage monitors from the CM Pro series, capable of 16/7 operation. This configuration is truly MASSIVE and quite impressive! With these monitors, the whole space has a very multimedia feel that will interest any young visitor to the venue. After all, that should be the purpose of monitors used in such venues. To achieve the effect of a video wall and to combine the screens into one huge image, PROV4 players were used. Now one video is displayed on 5 screens simultaneously. This gives an incredible viewing experience.
   
• On the other wall, two 86-inch Clevertouch Impact Max interactive screens have been installed. These displays feature touch-controlled interactive games, allowing children to learn about the topics covered at the Centre in an easier and more engaging way.
   
• The new CleverLauncher functionality in the Clevertouch screens was used to set up these stations. CleverLauncher is a welcome screen that can be configured precisely to meet the needs of a particular client or deployment. In this space, the welcome screen only allows you to launch a game, and all other functions are disabled, eliminating the risk of someone accessing the monitor settings or launching a web browser and displaying unwanted content.
   
• The CM Pro series digital signage monitors display prepared educational video content. So we have a huge interactive AV space. The whole space has a very multimedia character and will undoubtedly immediately interest any young visitor to the facility, which is precisely the purpose of the monitors used in such places. One of the most interesting materials displayed on these monitors is undoubtedly a film set in a Minecraft-like environment, in which two animated characters, Karlik and Gwarek, take a tour of the engine room. The footage is all the more impressive because it is displayed in a very large format, simultaneously on three monitors working as a video wall.

Why Clevertouch for the Museum and Heritage Sector?

Clevertouch's AV solutions are ideally suited to the museum and heritage sector, where modern solutions are very important for interesting presentation and audience engagement.

Museum visitors expect an educational and inspiring experience. AV technologies, such as the CleverLive system from Clevertouch, can significantly contribute through interactive presentations, better interpretation of exhibit artefacts, enhancing the appeal of exhibitions and deepening the understanding of topics. Visitors can actively navigate content using Clevertouch's interactive features, or passively participate in videos and narratives, supporting a variety of ways to participate in the museum experience.

The market for AV in museums and cultural heritage sites is significant and growing. Estimates of the value of this market may be difficult to pinpoint, but the growth of interest in AV technologies in this sector is noticeable as cultural institutions increasingly invest in interactive and multimedia solutions to enhance the appeal and educational value of their exhibitions. Against the growing backdrop, increasing awareness of the importance of education and attracting tourists through high-tech exhibitions can be expected to lead to further growth of the AV market in museums and heritage sites in the future. It is also very important for AV manufacturers to develop and show new functionalities.

Clevertouch has a wide range of equipment - from interactive displays, commercial displays, digital signage solutions: high bright displays, advertising totems, digital signage players, room booking systems or really large LED video walls. All of our hardware is delivered with award-winning CleverLive software, which gives you the ability to create and manage displayed content directly from a web browser from anywhere in the world. This is an incredibly flexible and convenient solution.

Clevertouch guarantees it has dedicated teams that provide comprehensive support: during the selection of the best AV solution or ongoing after-sales care.
