The exhibition "Gravity" at Museum of Natural History presented the life and times of Einstein and immersed visitors in his theories on light, time, energy, and gravity.
INVIVIA conceptualized and designed a full-body interactive exhibit "Gravity Wall" to help audiences experience the space time model. The goal of the exhibition was to remind the public of Einstein's revolutionary contributions. As visitors move relative to the wall, the wall responds to their motion by opening up and closing down. Visitors can "feel" their gravity as an emerging mass - warping time and space as opposed to the idea of gravity alone as a force. Understanding this principle is an important step toward understanding more complex theories of the universe.
