Great War tables

Great War tables

Second Story Interactive Studios, Portland, Oregon, 2007

Description

The two 26-foot Great War tables give visitors the opportunity to delve deeper into the strategic and technological aspects of World War I. The tables feature individual interactives where visitors can learn about military technologies through 3-D reconstructions; compare the arsenals, artillery and airplanes used by the combatant armies; watch archival video footage and browse photographic collections; and create their own propaganda posters and war memorials, which they can email to themselves and others. Museum staff can launch the tables at any time into a group-based interactive experience where up to 24 visitors engage in a series of challenges that parallel the military, political and civilian aspects of the global conflict. Divided into six pairings in which allied countries are positioned against central-powers countries, visitors can experience the unique challenges of different national perspectives. Bookending each challenge is a table-wide video presentation that summarizes the state of war from an international perspective.
