TRAVELING EXHIBIT: PREMIERING JANUARY 29
Presented By The Macauley and Helen Dow Whiting Foundation
THE FUTURE IS NOW! If you thought teleportation, holograms, invisibility and mind control were only in the movies - think again. Let your imagination run wild with the possibilities of the future in our latest exhibition, Science Fiction, Science Future, presented by The Macauley and Helen Dow Whiting Foundation, coming to the Orlando Science Center from January 29 to May 9, 2022. Created by the renowned Scitech in Perth, Australia and produced by Imagine Exhibitions, Science Fiction, Science Future will allow you to move objects with your mind, disappear right before our eyes, interact with a robot that copies your movements and experience augmented reality in action. When you look back at iconic works of science fiction, they often predict the innovations of the future. Tablet computers, GPS, automatic doors and even biometric health data tracking
were all just figments of the imagination when they first appeared on Star Trek in the 1960s. Now, these are everyday technologies.Science Fiction, Science Future gives you the chance to explore the innovations that classic science fiction predicted for our future while you imagine what comes next. How long do you think it will take for robots to walk the streets with us? They already build our cars and explore space. You could predict the next great invention! In Science Fiction, Science Future you will also be able to draw and describe what you think houses, transportation and our planet will look like in the future – will we live on Mars, get around using jet-pack rockets, or have a robot cook our meals? It’s up to you to decide. Tom Zaller, CEO of Imagine Exhibitions shared, “Imagine Exhibitions is proud to partner with Scitech to bring Science Fiction, Science Future to Orlando Science Center. It’s an exciting time in the modern world: robots vacuum our homes, act as personal butlers, and even do complex tasks like perform surgeries! Find out more about the science fiction predictions that could become realities next in this thought-provoking exhibition!” Make sure to check out Science Fiction, Science Future while it’s here at the Orlando Science Center to discover what technology isn’t just fiction anymore. The future is here, and it’s in your hands.
