Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Motion sensor activated sounds in the museum



Hello all,



Do any of your sites have sounds triggered by a motion sensor device that help create an ambiance and set the scene for visitors when they walk into a room in your museum space?



For example, we have colleagues in this region who have stables that have been converted into a museum. When visitors walk into the stables a motion sensor picks up on it and then triggers a device which plays pre-recorded horse sounds like neighing and whinnying. It is very impressive.



I have heard of other museums doing this, but I can't remember which ones. I would like to look into this motion sensor technology some more and receive input from different sites.



Thank you for your assistance!



Helen
