Orlando Science Center
The Project
We are proud to announce that 42 Audio Visual is the official technology parters for the Orlando Science Center (OSC). Our design team has been working with the OSC exhibits team to help create next-gen installations all over the science center.
Orlando Science Center
Digital Signage Network
Our design team has been working with the OSC exhibits team to help create next-gen installations all over the science center, leveraging Q-SYS for exhibit control and automation. One of our completed projects is their new center-wide, 17-display digital signage network powered with WiFi-enabled media players. These players allow the exhibits and sales teams to push new content — exhibit maps, special event promotions, observatory and theater showtimes — to every display with the click of a button.
Plant Growth — Interactive Kiosk
We designed and custom-built a physical interactive exhibit for the science center's Experimental Garden area in partnership with Infinite Zion Farms. The piece is a planter cabinet with a 55" TV framed as a lid on top — kids walk up, plant a real seed into the dispenser, and watch the growth cycle play out on screen in real time.
The cabinet houses servo-driven seed gate mechanisms, two small display windows showing soil, worms, and sprouting seeds, and a center slot where visitors drop their seed to start the experience. Bilingual content (English and Spanish) guides families through each step. The whole unit was custom fabricated — from engineering drawings to final install.
Space Garden — Mobile Game + LED Wall
A completely separate interactive experience built for the café. Kids use their phones to open "Plant Sim 3000" — a custom mobile game where they design their own plants from scratch, choosing leaf types, fruits, root systems, and custom colors.
Once their creation is complete, they hit "Send to Lab" — and their plant is transmitted to Rosie, the robotic plant keeper living inside a space station displayed on the café's LED video wall. Rosie processes each new plant in real time, and kids can watch their designs come to life on the big screen from their table.
Plant Sim 3000
The mobile interface gives visitors full creative control. Choose from different leaf shapes, fruit types, root structures, and stem styles — then customize colors with a full spectrum picker. Each plant is unique, and educational content is woven into every selection, teaching kids about real botany while they play.
A live "Lab Connection" indicator at the bottom of the screen shows the real-time link between the phone and Rosie's space station — making the whole experience feel connected and alive.
