The Participatory Room:
Museums for the 21st Century feature participation. The Participatory Room at the Museum contains highly interactive exhibitry for golf, football, baseball and soccer. These are not video games nor are they virtual. They are full participation, "hit 'em as hard as you can" exhibits that are among the Museum's most popular.

Sensors in the screen read the force and trajectory of the real golf ball you are hitting, the real baseball you are throwing and the real soccer and footballs you are kicking. How you perform determines the random outcome of your participation in this exhibit. A fun exhibit for all ages!
