This project, sponsored by the National Museum of Namibia, sought to create informative and engaging touch screen displays for the omahangu millet, traditional musical instruments, and Etosha exhibits in the Owela Display Centre. Content for the displays was based on input from staff and visitors, in addition to our own research of the topics. The touch screens allow local and foreign visitors to interactively learn about Namibia's rich history and natural resources, while also providing them with a satisfying museum experience.
