Balance – Surf Snow
Four balance boards— two basic and two more advanced– are positioned in front of a rear-projection DVD screen. A motion sensor triggers a two-minute video sequence. First, pine trees and snowflakes zip by, putting the visitor in the role of a snowboarder on a mountain. After 15 seconds, the image takes the snowboarder off the edge of a cliff and sailing into the clouds before landing— as a surfer— in the ocean. When the montage of cresting and curling waves subside, the scene gently fades into a tranquil beach. Throughout the sequence, air blows gentle winds at the visitors from two ducts.
