Ideum

Ideum (www.ideum.com) is an experience design company focused on using emerging technologies to create public installations and products that lead to memorable visitor experiences. Ideum's multidisciplinary team of inter­active exhibit developers includes industry pro­fes­sion­als from a diverse set of back­grounds, including designers, programmers, exhibit fabricators, and experts in a range of educational and scientific fields. We believe that interactive exhibits provide unique opportunities for storytelling and social interaction. Our deep understanding of new technologies, compelling narratives, and the design opportunities they present allows us to create exhibits that are first-of-their-kind. We have developed interactive exhibits that utilize emerging technologies such as: touch tables, tangible object interfaces, projection mapping, video walls, LED lighting, and a variety of electronic components. Our projects have explored topics in art, science, history, and culture. Our collaborators are influential museums, Fortune 500 companies, and other innovative institutions. Our holistic approach to design, technology, and the visitor experience sets us apart from other companies. We stand apart from many other interactive design firms not only because we build unique standalone hardware products, but because we also develop content and specialized software. Being accomplished in content development, hardware, software, and custom fabrication means we understand the full spectrum of skills and components necessary for creating immersive and compelling installations. In addition, Ideum is an A/V dealer/distributor and has partnerships with 3M, Barco, BrightSign, Christie, Crestron, Intel, LG, and others.
