Introduction In October 2012, Birmingham Museum and Art Galleries, launched their £8.9 million refurbished gallery ‘Birmingham, its people, its history’. As part of this refurbishment, the Digital Heritage Demonstrator project, developed a bespoke application for a custom 65″ Touch Table, based around the museum’s content.
The entire gallery spans over 500 years of Birmingham history from medieval times and the industrial revolution, through to the World Wars – to the technology-led life of the 21st century. The giant collaborative touch table was installed at the most modern end of the gallery covering ‘post 1940s’.
