Museum visitors take an inter-planetary adventure with virtual reality technology

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

The application – called Minerva Prime – is being developed by a group of students from Algonquin College. Dushan Horvat, the professor for the Game Development class working on Minerva Prime, explains the application’s theme. “Humankind has already

False advertising or simple misunderstanding? The fascinating saga of the Kosmos Spielcomputer Logikus computer toy

How are you today, my reading friend? I ask you this question, with some trepidation perhaps, because I chose to stray further away from the one true path to illumination, that which leads to an understanding of all things aeronautical and spacey. Even though yours truly readily admits that I loathe computers with every fibre of my being, I found myself strangely attracted to this week’s topic, but back to our story, which is pretty cool. Lets us begin our exploration with a quote, in other

Museum visitors offer valuable input in development of space simulation game

Allissia Le Hénaff

As a student in the Game Development program at Algonquin College, I never thought I’d be working on my final, cumulative project at a museum! Perhaps I should give you a little bit of the back story. Thanks to a partnership between Algonquin College and the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, a space simulation game in Virtual Reality (VR) is benefiting from the interactive feedback of museum visitors.

Hello there, my reading friend. As we all move along the month of April, enjoying the rites of spring, yours truly thought that a feel good story might not be a bad idea. What say ye? Good. Let us proceed then. Once upon a time, in late 1946 or early 1947, a number of teenagers and young adults, both female and male, were taking lessons at a skating school. Many of the male skaters were taking flying lessons, or already had a pilot licence. Some of these young men openly bragged about their

Laser Sailboat

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

The Laser began as a quick sketch made during a telephone conversation between Canadians Bruce Kirby and Ian Bruce. “How about doing a car-top sail boat?” This was the inspiration for the Laser, perhaps the most popular single-handed sailing dinghy in the world. Bruce Kirby responded to Ian Bruce’s question by creating a light, portable boat that appealed to both recreational and competitive sailors. Introduced in 1971, the Laser gave people access to the thrill of sailing without membership in

Jacques Plante’s Goalie Mask

Canadian Museum of History

On November 1, 1959, a wicked shot from the Boston Bruins’ Andy Bathgate added seven more stitches to the forehead of legendary goaltender Jacques Plante. That night, Plante refused to go back into the net without a mask, and the face of hockey changed forever. The mask ultimately proved a success. Today, all goalies wear facemasks, some so artfully painted that they have become the subject of museum exhibitions. This fibreglass “pretzel” design mask was Plante’s second pretzel mask, and his
