Single Cup Headphones – Life Science Centre

{

In our Space Zone, we have a mock-up of the International Space Station featuring videos of astronauts discussing life and work in orbit. The space is quite enclosed, so we wanted to control the audio, allowing families to focus on one film at a time. Blackbox-av’s Single Cup Headphones provided a rugged, reliable solution.

– Andy Lloyd, Head of Partnerships and Developments at International Centre for Life.

Life Science Centre is a unique visitor attraction in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne, where visitors can explore a range of engaging exhibits, activities and events. Andy Lloyd, Head of Partnerships and Development at the International Centre for Life, discusses the Space Zone and how our Single Cup Headphones were used as part of the experience.

By placing a pair of headphones at each screen, two people can listen simultaneously while still talking to each other about the story. Some visitors prefer to use both earphones for a fully immersive experience. Mounted on an armoured, flexible cable, the headphones can easily adapt to users of different heights and are fully accessible to wheelchair users.

Since this installation, we have used the same product in two small temporary exhibitions, where it delivers audio narration alongside video content.
