01 / Overview

This exhibit phenomena such as fiber optic transmission, fiber optic total reflection, and fiber optic sound transmission through multiple interactive installations, allowing visitors to intuitively understand the scientific principles involved through hands-on operation. The exhibits mainly consist of a design booth and four sets of core interactive devices. one Fiber optic total reflection device: Press the button, rotate the handwheel on the table to drive the laser reflector, and observe the total reflection phenomenon of the laser inside the device Light reflection and refraction device: Press the button and adjust the angle through the rotating parts of the device to observe the phenomenon of light reflection and refraction Fiber optic transmission device: Press the button, rotate the dial to select different patterns, and observe the corresponding pattern presented on the other end of the fiber optic cable Fiber optic sound transmission device: Press the button, rotate the drum, align the fiber optic cable with the emission point, and listen to the music coming from the speaker Fiber optic total reflection device, consisting of a rotating mechanism, acrylic cover, button, laser head, etc; 2. Light reflection and refraction device, including acrylic anti reflective material.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
