Through the Looking Glass: Installing a Bit of Wonder in the Lobby

SOMERVILLE, Mass., Aug. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Last week's eclipse reminds us of something as wonderful as the event itself:  That a moment of shared fascination and beauty between strangers can simply, immediately, create a sense of connection and community.

Experiences like these are especially powerful when travelling. Think of the difference between an unremarkable (possibly lonely) walk through a silent lobby, versus the warm memory of an unexpected encounter and personal conversation in that same space.

For the hospitality industry, such guest experiences are invaluable, as they are both positive and unforgettable.

TechnoFrolics, a science-art studio run by Artist/Inventor/Entrepreneur David Durlach, is internationally known within the museum community for providing just such visitor experiences.

"What impresses us most … is the "social" nature of the experiences. While [TechnoFrolics' creations] are technologically and scientifically advanced, they express that sophistication with an almost childlike wonder that captivates all who encounter them. In the laughter, the conversations and questions, the way one person pulls another over to see and experience, the unforgettable smiles and emotion, we consistently see the success of David's work."
Sharon Handy, Senior Project Manager, Hands On!

TechnoFrolics is working to tailor their offerings for the Hospitality Industry, and is seeking synergistic partnerships.

One TechnoFrolics creation of direct application is the FrameGlide | Spin Browser (FG|SB) video explorer, which enables unique interactive exploration of beautiful (potentially site-specific) phenomena.

"To say the spin browser is a hit is an understatement! The children (and adults) love it. It is in constant use."
Beverly Papai, Ex-Director, Farmington Community Library, Farmington Hills, Michigan

"You need to touch and explore the system yourself. The difference between a passive "watching" of video and an FG|SB exploration, is like the difference between being a passenger in an airplane and piloting the plane yourself. The delight of users is palpable. It's a spontaneous conversation starter and can offer everything from aerial fly-overs to flowers unfolding to timelapse views out guest room windows to the preparation of a delicious meal," David explains.

Qualified parties interested in receiving a demo are encouraged to contact TechnoFrolics.
