Mist in the Valley

October 31, 2014

Techniquest has completed the manufacture of a new Mist in the Valley interactive for its exhibition floor.

The interactive was first produced for VilVite, Bergen Science Centre, Norway in 2007 and focuses on the phenomena of mist with the exhibit showcasing the beautiful artistic patterns and shapes made by the eddies created by blowing on the mist formations.

Visitors are encouraged to place their hands into the mist formations and to manipulate the vapour.

The exhibit has been placed in Techniquest’s low-light area where lighting helps to create a truly memorable exhibit for the visitors.
