Description
Guests step up to a pillar of monitors and use motion capture to create and manipulate virtual soap bubbles, making streams and whirlwinds and popping toys out of bubbles, with automatic photo capture built into the environment. The installation marked the induction of bubbles into the National Toy Hall of Fame in 2014.
