| Kapurthala (Punjab): Playing with butterflies, sand, molecular bubbles, shadows and magical flowers will now be child's play, literally, with a virtual reality gallery being opened at the Pushpa Gujral science city near here today.
The latest addition to the science city, located on the Jalandhar-Kapurthala highway, 170 km from Chandigarh, will also help children and other visitors learn how things like e-mails and automated teller machines (ATMs) work.
"The gallery is divided into three parts. The first part includes six exhibits which interact with our shadows and actions without touching or holding anything. The second part contains virtual stations and the third part deals with computers and cyber space. The gallery is an exciting place with lots of fun, entertainment and education for people of all ages and background," science city director general R.S. Khandpur said.
'Virtual butterflies' is one of the attractive exhibits in this gallery. A swarm of butterflies circle as if looking for something. When a shadow appears on the screen, the butterflies begin to land on the hand or shoulder.
In another exhibit, 'Virtual make-over', the look of an old man can be changed to that of a young man and that of a young man to an old man through different types of make-up, Khandpur added. (IANS) |
