Playing With Light

Through March 24, 2024

Created by Scitech in Australia and produced by Imagine Exhibition, this exhibit combines light and play in an exploration into light technology. Walk through a tunnel illuminated by 20,000 individual LED lights, see your shadows come to life with computer vision technology, explore a walk-in kaleidoscope and dodge lasers.
