Ideum (www.ideum.com) is a creative company focused on using emerging technologies to design and build public installations and products that lead to memorable visitor experiences. Ideum’s multidisciplinary team of interactive exhibit developers includes industry professionals from a diverse set of backgrounds, including designers, programmers, exhibit fabricators, and experts in a range of educational and scientific fields. We believe that interactive exhibits provide unique opportunities for storytelling and social interaction. Our deep understanding of new technologies, compelling narratives, and the design opportunities they present allows us to create exhibits that are first-of-their-kind. We have developed interactive exhibits that utilize emerging technologies such as: touch tables, tangible object interfaces, projection mapping, video walls, LED lighting, and a variety of electronic components. Our projects have explored topics in art, science, history, and culture. Our collaborators are influential museums, Fortune 500 companies, and other innovative institutions.Our holistic approach to design, technology, and the visitor experience sets us apart from other companies. We stand apart from many other interactive design firms not only because we build unique standalone hardware products, but because we also develop content and specialized software. Being accomplished in content development, hardware, software, and custom fabrication means we understand the full spectrum of skills and components necessary for creating immersive and compelling installations. In addition, Ideum is an A/V dealer/distributor and has partnerships with 3M, Barco, BrightSign, Christie, Crestron, Intel, LG, and others. View Profile
The Penguin Chill habitat at the Albuquerque BioPark, opened in the summer of 2019, is a groundbreaking immersive exhibit that takes visitors on a research expedition from the southern tip of South America to the Antarctic Peninsula. Ideum designed and built exhibitry that supplements the indoor habitat-viewing by adding a vivid narrative experience in which visitors assume the role of scientists bound for the Antarctic. Along the way, they learn about penguin habitats, sub-Antarctic ecology, climate change, and STEM concepts related to Antarctic field research. Narrative theming, innovative uses of interactive technology, and a rich variety of interpretive content creates a colorful visitor experience unique to the world of zoos and aquariums. The state-of-the-art indoor habitat is home to King, Gentoo, and Macaroni penguins.
Ideum completed the project in collaboration with HB Construction, VGHA Architects, S2 and Associates, and Scientific Art Studio, and after 2 years of development, the experience opened to the public on July 23, 2019. Since the opening, Penguin Chill has been a tremendous success; in fact, a recent KRQE news report notes that attendance at the BioPark increased by 80% over the same period last year.
