New IBM THINK Exhibit Opens at Innoventions®
This past week, IBM launched a new interactive experience inside Innoventions® West at Epcot®. The new exhibit, named IBM THINK, explores how technology transforms the way we live and work. Its theme fits perfectly within Innoventions® underlying goal to celebrate inspiration and the innovations that improve our lives and expand our horizons.
The 6,600 sq ft exhibit showcases how the world can work better if we use the help of technology and innovation. IBM uses an unique combination of experiences throughout the THINK exhibit to showcase this like:
- A 40-foot dynamic “gesture wall” that reveals the ebb and flow of data in our daily lives through colorful visualizations
- A 12-minute inspirational film discussing building a better future
- A self-guided tour featuring 20 seven-foot interactive touchscreens that encourage discovery
The fun doesn’t stop there – IBM has created an app so you can continue your exploration at home!
The IBM THINK exhibit joins many other great experiences in the Innoventions® Pavilion at Epcot® like The Sum of All Thrills™, The Great Piggy Bank Adventure℠, and Where’s the Fire?. IBM THINK is scheduled to remain open to the public until Winter 2014. All of these experiences are included with regular park admission to Epcot®. The operating hours of the Innoventions® Pavilion is often different than the Park, so be sure to check your times guide for details.
