Verkehrshaus Touch Screens
The Swiss Museum of Transportation built a new hall for road transport, that opened its doors in summer 2009. It contains an automated high-bay storeroom with a robotized parking system with some 80 artefacts dated between 1860 and 2005, stacked from floor to ceiling, from horse carriages to bicycles to automobiles.
Several touch screen stations offer information about the artefacts.
Kabeljau planned, designed and programmed the software for this touchscreen installation in cooperation with the Museum of Transport and our software specialist Michael Vögeli.
