From Exhibits to Immersive Experiences: Digital Initiatives at Science City Kapurthala

Abstract

Historically, Science Museums rely on traditional exhibits like information panels, dioramas, models, visual representations to engage visitors and communicate science. With the development of latest technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Augment, Virtual Reality, High-end-sensors and Projection mapping, Science Museums are at the forefront of digital transformation in science communication. This paper discusses digital initiatives implemented by Pushpa Gujral Science City, Kapurthala and the challenges faced, while shifting from traditional exhibits to immersive digital experiences.
