Developing Interactive Exhibits for Vivek Darshan, Khetri

The objective was to develop an interactive medium to deliver the content of the Vivek Darshan museum to visitors in an engaging manner. This is a biographical museum on the life of Swami Vivekananda. The project involved understanding the events that took place in the life of Swami Vivekananda, how these influenced his personality and the lesson that one can take by visiting this museum.The aim then was to identify simple intuitive interactions and wrap these events into an interactive medium.

Wisdom Well: This interactive installation consists of an artificial, physical well which holds short movies based Vivekananda’s life. The visitor pulls out the bucket from the well, which plays movies on the screen placed in the base of the well.

The Journey: This installation has an interactive animation that shows Vivekananda’s teachings and the places visited by him. The animation is controlled by the pace of the navigation wheel.
