Touch Screen Kiosk Systems

Conceptual design

Completed project

Diversified scientific Solutions designed constructed and created a touch screen multimedia kiosk presentation which integrated video, audio, photos and descriptive text. The kiosk is a permanant installation setup in the front foyer of the Institute of Ocean Sciences and is used to introduce visitors to the various science programs conducted by both Fisheries and Oceans Canada as well as the Pacific Geoscience Centre.

Travelling Exhibit

Rob Bowen of Diversified Scientific Solution designed and curated this exhibit in association with Dr. Ed Carmack of the Institute of Occean Sciences

11ft x 7ft canvas poster showing Christopher Walker and Sylvester Drabitt shaking hand at the North Pole. Entrance poster to the Through Artists' Eye exhibit.

In 1994 a Canadian and an American ice breaker carried out the first scientific crossing of the Arctic Ocean. This historical event joins a rich chronology of Arctic explorations such as those carried out by Parry, Franklin and Ross.

Through Artists' Eyes presented an exciting visual account of the expedition blending both art and science featuring the works of Canadian artists Dr. Sylvester Drabitt and Christopher Walker. The exhibit travelled for two years across Canada including:

  • The Institute of Ocean Sciences
  • the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria
  • The Vancouver Maritime Museum
  • The Freshwater Institute (Winnipeg)
  • The Canadian Museum of Nature (Ottawa)
  • The Halifax Museum of Natural History
  • The Prince of Wale Northern Heritage Centre (Yellowknife)
