The Section of Mystery: What’s behind the door?
The 412 - June 2016: Hidden behind a half-sized wooden door in Bird Hall — a hallway on the museum’s third floor that is (unsurprisingly) lined with bird taxidermy — is The Section of Mystery, a display featuring 3-D holographic technology. A new permanent exhibit, The Section of Mystery is part of the museum’s efforts to modernize and adapt to new ways of how people learn. - See more at: http://www.pittsburghmagazine.com/Best-of-the-Burgh-Blogs/The-412/June-2016/The-Section-of-Mystery-Whats-behind-the-door/#sthash.pkhVhtk2.dpuf

It’s really cool to see how graduates of CMU use their degree to do new and innovative things in society. What’s really cool about this piece is the designer had to make this piece from top to bottom. Because this is such an innovative piece the designer had to create their own software in order to have access to the technical capabilities the designer wanted. This is interesting because not only did they use their degree to make things that change the field of both technology and software, but this innovative way of bring holograms and changing art brings a new aspect and new possibilities to the art community. This new idea will bring new capabilities to the art world and give them the inspiration to adapt art to the technical world that we live in. This new software that was created in the design process may have other uses and implications in the art. I think it will be interesting to see how this technology and way of presenting art will evolve. Will it continued to be be used in the art world to create other works that utilize technology? Will this software make it into the theater world and be used to create animals on stage?
