Every child’s dream play world was brought to life at the Future Park launch at Silverstar on 22 February.
Future Park is an international children’s event where interactive digital technology is brought to life while adding a dash of magic to children’s drawings.
According to Enid Vickers from Corporate Image, the exhibition moved to Johannesburg from Cape Town, where it was held for the first time ever in South Africa. It has attracted more than five million children across the world, to play in an ever-changing digital environment while they develop their fine motor skills.
The exhibition’s fun, interactive activities will captivate the imagination and introduce young ones to the marvels of technology, using scanners and sensors to make each child’s colourful drawings come to life in this unique digital universe.
Each child’s drawing will come to life on several themed life-size screens. For example, at the sketch aquarium, children can colour in fish and other water creatures, scan them and watch as they swim about with other children’s creations on the giant digital screen.
Children will also encounter a sketch ‘town’ where they can construct a 3D model town complete with roads, rail and waterway infrastructure where digital scans of cars, trains and boats move about seamlessly.
The light-ball orchestra area is filled with several balls in different sizes that change colour and play music as children play with them. There is also a game of hopscotch that explodes with colour as children hop onto the different squares and a delightful magical table that reacts when it is touched.
The Future Park exhibition will run from 24 February to 8 April, at Silverstar.
