What Would You Do?

Explore the difficult decisions men and women had to make during WWII.

Description

Geared towards group participation as well as individual use, the What Would You Do? interactive experience explores the complex and difficult decisions men and women faced during WWII. Designed for up to 36 participants at a time, the experience includes a large wall display and individual touch panels for each participant.

Participants are first shown a short live-action clip of a WWII era moral dilemma on the wall display. Once the clip has ended, visitors are asked "What would you do?" They are then able to select a decision from a list of multiple-choice answers on the touch panels.

After the voting is complete, the results are shown on the overhead display.

This is repeated for each of the 12 scenarios.
