This interactive experience centre brings alive the historical and cultural vision behind Saadiyat Island as well as its future plans.
Visitors will find a rich educational experience for all, especially for families looking for a fun, weekend activity. Here they will learn more through virtual ‘books’. LCD screens display the pages of electronic books - using a first-ever technology in the Middle East, which respond with a gesture recognition sensor system by simply waving a hand over the image of the book.
The design of the exhibition has adopted an interactive approach to engage with visitors, with a carefully balanced mix of audio-visual media including large-scale AV, graphics, physical and touchscreen interactives, spread across the nine chapters.
Inspired by the rich local tradition of storytelling, The Saadiyat Story is made up of nine chapters that articulate the different facets of the island’s past, present and future
