At this awesome new museum, the exhibits respond to the sound of your voice
“Planet Word didn’t want to model a library, but the museum does include one. The space is designed to look traditional, with the wooden walls and shared reading tables you might imagine. The difference here is that, when you pull one of 100 books off the shelf and lay it down to read, that book comes to life with graphics that literally spill off the page while a narrator discusses the work.”
“Local Projects created the opposite of a place you go to read. Planet Word is a place you go to talk. This is the world’s first voice recognition powered museum, says Jake Barton, founder of Local Projects. It’s a museum where we want to put people into an active state.”
