RIVER ALIVE! EXHIBIT @ SEAPORT MUSEUM
FRAZER TECHNOLOGY is pleased to have been apart of the team that has brought the new RiverAlive! exhibit to fruition at the Independence Seaport Museum. FT was integral in the design and full installation of 9 interactive exhibits that help visitors learn about the Delaware Watershed and how we impact the river. Our parent company H.B. Frazer also did all of the electrical infrastructure.
The exhibits includes:
- The Continuum Wall – A 32′ S curved wall with two ceiling mounted Barco projectors displaying a seamless interactive projection wall. Interacting with the five interactive pedestals, visitors can help clean the river and learn at the same time. It includes five channel audio with a ceiling mounted speaker over each pedestal.

- River Highway Theater – An interactive theater with a 21″ elo touchscreen allows visitors to choose one of seven weather scenes. With 16 ChauvetDJ lights and four Kramer speakers, they learn and sense what different weather conditions are like and how they affect the land, waterways and and all living things. FT designed, installed and programmed all the lighting scenes with a ChauvetDJ DMX controller and touch panel controls with a BrightSign media player.

- Watershed Video Wall – In a small 10′ x 11′ room, the angled 55″ panels that comprise the 2 x 3 Barco video wall use six BrightSign media players in BrightWall synced mode, with a dynamic Kramer sound system to give visitors an immersed feel of how water is used and moves through the watershed.

- Citizen Science Lab – This classroom area includes a 32″ LG monitor, JBL speakers and a wireless keyboard & mouse to allow the instructor to display information from the remote computer. The desktop mounted WIFI connected iPad allows students to connect and interact with the instructor as well.

- Fisharium – A larger classroom that includes a 65″ LG monitor, JBL speakers and a wireless keyboard & mouse to allow the instructor to display information from the remote computer. A microphone jack on the instructors table allows for a Shure microphone to be plugged in so they can Skype with instructors and scientist in the field. The microphone allows students to ask questions of the person in the field. At this time, it was determined that only audio was needed going out to the remote end but the students would be able to see video and hear audio from the person in the field.
