PureTech Systems Integrates Technologies For Discovery World Pier At Wisconsin

  • May 01, 2007

PureTech Systems Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Pure Technologies Ltd. and manufacturer of wide-area video surveillance solutions, recently announced the successful installation of its PureActiv solution in a new exhibit at Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin. The system, part of the TechnoJungle exhibit, showcases PureActiv’s graphical user interface, including map-based geo-referencing and point-and-click camera control.

Discovery World opened in 2006 with a mission to connect innovation, science and technology with exploration, environment and Great Lakes freshwater resources. The museum features interactive exhibits and experiential learning programs, including the TechnoJungle, which uses the PureActiv system as part of the exhibit to demonstrate the theme of Innovation, Technology and a Safe Environment. 

“One aspect of the exhibit demonstrates to patrons how technology can be used as a sensory extension to provide everyday folks super-human like perception,” said Larry Bowe, president of PureTech Systems. “The PureActiv portion of the display shows users that even in a crowded museum floor, technology can quickly and efficiently allow a user see details of the crowded area with a single click of the mouse.”

“The TechnoJungle will connect people with new technologies. It will stimulate interest and careers in the fields of math, science and engineering and inspire creative, innovative and entrepreneurial mindsets. The PureActiv system is key for providing this unique learning environment,” said Paul Krajniak, executive director, Discovery World.

Within the exhibit, the PureActiv graphical user interface is combined with several PTZ cameras, allowing patrons to click on a map of the TechnoJungle, instantly directing multiple cameras to the exact point of interest. The system then responds to the user with instant video feedback of the location of interest from multiple vantage points, enhancing the sensory experience beyond what could typically be achieved.
