Reviews & Comments
“Interactive software can teach. This table is proof: adults and children can travel around the world, engage in projects, help humankind, fight disease, without leaving the building. It is a complete learning experience—and the designers maintain an attractive interface—it works for children but also engages adults, there is a possibility to go deeper. Great example for new tools in museums.”
