Interactive installation by Aether Immersive

Interactives & Kiosks

TOUCHSCREEN / LIDAR / CAMERA / GESTURE

An interactive installation pairs custom hardware, input sensors (touch, LiDAR, camera), and bespoke software so visitors can explore content hands-on without staff assistance.

THE SERVICE

Experiences people can touch, move through, and shape with their presence.

We design and build interactive installations that respond to people - through touch, motion, gesture, and proximity. From custom touchscreen kiosks for museums and corporate lobbies to large-scale LiDAR and camera-driven environments where the audience becomes part of the artwork, our interactives are built to engage, inform, and delight.

Every interactive we build is a complete package: custom hardware housing, purpose-built software, sensor integration, and content design all developed together. We've created collaborative drawing walls for art museums, interactive wayfinding systems, body-tracking projection installations, and branded touchscreen experiences for corporate clients. Whether the goal is education, entertainment, or brand engagement - we build the thing people can't stop playing with.

WHAT WE OFFER

Touchscreen Kiosks

Custom-built kiosk hardware and software for museums, lobbies, retail, and events - from wayfinding to interactive exhibits.

Body Tracking & LiDAR

Sensor-driven installations that respond to movement, presence, and gesture - creating immersive experiences shaped by the audience.

Camera Interactives

Computer vision systems for face tracking, object recognition, and augmented reality overlays in physical spaces.

Collaborative Displays

Multi-user interactive walls and surfaces for collaborative drawing, data exploration, and shared creative experiences.

RELATED SERVICES

How this connects

Interactives sit at the intersection of our Software Development and Digital Content Creation capabilities. The software team builds the sensor logic, real-time rendering, and application framework, while our content team designs the visual interface and responsive graphics. For physical kiosk builds, our Fabrication team handles custom enclosures and housing. And interactive elements are often integrated into larger Projection Mapping installations to create fully responsive environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of interactive installations do you build?
Custom touchscreen kiosks, collaborative drawing walls, sensor-driven multi-user displays, generative visual environments, and educational interactives. Designed for museums, science centers, lobbies, corporate spaces, and events.
What input methods can you integrate?
Touch (single and multi-user), LiDAR, camera-driven body tracking, gesture recognition, face tracking, and object recognition. Input is chosen per use case - kids drawing on a museum wall has different needs than a corporate lobby gesture interface.
Have you built interactives for museums?
Yes. Examples include the NASA Goddard ICESat-2 educational kiosk (Three.js 3D ice-sheet visualization), collaborative drawing and mapping installations at the American Visionary Art Museum (AVAM), and interactive exhibits at the Jewish Museum of Maryland (JMM).
Can you design both hardware and software?
Yes - we deliver the full stack. Custom hardware housing, display hardware specification, sensor integration, and the graphics/interaction software, delivered as one integrated package so support only ever has to go through one team.
Do you handle ongoing support?
Yes. Installed interactives can be remotely monitored, updated, and maintained. We have experience supporting installations that run every day for years on public-facing hardware.
What kinds of visitors are your interactives designed for?
General public, including children and multiple-visitor-at-once groups. Our museum work is designed with durability, accessibility, and no-training-required interaction in mind.
