As part of the temporary exhibition dedicated to the Special Forces at the National Army Museum in London, a collection of interactive displays and collaborative games
Seven interactive exhibits through the siege of the Iranian Embassy and journeys to faraway places
At the National Army Museum in London, ETT‘s multimedia trail for Special Forces: In the Shadows is divided into 7 multimedia stations and features 3 different interaction modes. Between animated galleries, interactive timelines and stations dedicated to Gamification, each exhibit recounts – with the right edutainment approach – the history and anecdotes of the five elite units of the armed special forces, presenting the soldiers who have been part of the corps since World War II, their skills and the military operations undertaken at home and abroad over the years.
Recruitment & Selection
The touch screen allows visitors to explore different aspects of the recruitment, selection and training process. In particular, it presents personal accounts of the experiences of armed forces soldiers during training, illustrated with authentic footage, photographs and other material such as headlines and newspaper articles. The touchscreen also presents the views of soldiers and other experts, who elaborate on the selection process and the fundamental characteristics of becoming a soldier, again illustrated with photos and films.
Kim’s Game: Impossible Challenge
Users are asked questions to test their observation and analysis skills on a screen with 16 objects. The objects remain on the screen for a defined time, after which users must answer a series of questions.
Hostage Rescue
A touchscreen allows visitors to explore different aspects of a hypothetical rescue mission.
Patrol Skills: the first collaborative game on iPad
The team is in a jungle in hostile territory and a team member has been hit by an enemy bullet. The injured soldier must be evacuated from the situation. The four players must use their specialised training/skills to figure out how to do this.
Pack Your Bag: three missions, and a choice to be made for survival
Users will select a mission, each with a different terrain and objectives, and will have to choose a set of equipment, sufficient and appropriate to get the job done.
Weapons & Kit
A massive exhibition space for weapons, equipment and uniforms, navigable through multiple filters: visitors select individual weapons or group them together. By selecting individual weapons, it is possible to access additional content (e.g. high-resolution images to enlarge, audio and quotes from those who used them, sound effects, period images and films).
Iranian Embassy
An infographic with hotspots explaining the embassy siege along with audio/video content, including interviews with armed forces soldiers and others involved in the siege, along with news footage and other footage and audio.
