LIT ROOM. It’s a room that has walls that can move, both in the sense of shifting location and of bending to become convex or concave. It has a projector that casts images onto the walls, and small speakers create background noise. But the really clever part is that it interacts with the users. The target audience is children who are currently listening to a story being read aloud. When the reader gets to certain points, the environment adjusts, perhaps simulating a mountaintop or a rainstorm. Imagine it! Someone reads Oliver Twist, and you can really smell the grinding poverty!
