Body

(Sensor Products: Madison, NJ) -- Interactive exhibits make learning science fun. One such exhibit, “Under Pressure,” demonstrates how pressure between the body and a contacting object—such as a chair—can create pressure points and strain. Sensor Products Inc., an innovator in the field, donated their Tactilus Body Mapping Pressure System to The Leonardo Museum, which is showing the exhibit at schools and libraries until the museum opens next year. Joe Andrade, the exhibit developer and a professor of bioengineering at the University of Utah, integrated it into a portable kiosk that teaches children and adults about surface pressure body mapping.

A child sits and watches his body map change on the Tactilus Sensor System display.
