California Academy of Sciences

SPIKE (Scientific Personalized Interactive Kiosk Exhibit) is a client-sponsored project team designing an integrated network of websites and physical installations for the California Academy of Sciences. The goal of the project is to install a system to expand the Academy experience by connecting the interactions at the museum to the Academy website at home. Users create personalized avatars online or on kiosks in the front lobby of the Academy, and upon returning home, users are able to use their achievements at the Academy to compare their avatars™ progress with those of their peers.
