‘Welcome to the Museum. A building with a strange purpose of displaying old, un fit to use, often weird, physical items. For unknown reason, those buildings where quite popular back in the days.
I will be your tour guide. A person that you gonna follow around, listen and believe in everything I say. How are you today? I don’t really care but guides used to pretend to be interested in the visitors.
Behind me, on the wall, there is something that used to be common thing in the past or was cherish and admired. Now it does not exist anymore. It has a great story, which you can find online.
Ok. Now I am gonna ask you if you have any questions which I can not answer anyway.
You do Ohhh and Ahhh and thank you.
Please come again soon. Bye Bye’
Future dystopian world where no one has any sentiment for pasted things. No nostalgia for anything, so there won’t be need for places like museums to celebrate the past.
Every, single artefact will be digitalised and physical copies will no longer be cherish or wanted.
PIR sensor “feels” heat in front of it and triggers the speaker to play audio files from Micro SD card in the SD module (it has approx. 3sec delay).
This is a scale model.
In 1:1 scale, a person who walks in, would act on the motion sensor which will trigger the audio files playing thru the speaker/s.
Face less figure represents the museums’ tour guide. Black square in a frame symbolizes a piece of artwork. Audio file is a sample “tour guide talk” from a 2038 persons’ perspective (someone that has no clue what physical museums actually where).
The idea is to create an experience of museum tour. Give a feeling of how it was to physically walk arround and admire artefacts in person. Ofcourse all has been done by an individuals who do not care about perserving the past.
<p>Circuit tested. Now needs to be implemented in to the model. The sound is one of the iconic tunes from our times. In 2038 it won’t be remembered. <br /> (maybe as just weird audio tune playing in this strange place that cares about the past)
PIR infrared motion sensor, SD Card mudule, speaker connected to Arduino UNO processor.
WAV audio file on a Micro SD card will be played when PIR sensor will “feel” heat in front of it.
Best quality possible unfortunately is 8-bit audio file. But it fits in dystopian world that the model is meant to be a part of.
