“Playing with Light” at OMSI

“Playing with Light” at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) runs through Jan. 6. Full-body interactive exhibits encourage visitors to engage in light-, laser- and lens-based experiences, including freezing their shadows, mixing colored lights and making a laser beam bounce down a stream of water. Visitors can tinker with technology-focused exhibit elements involving light islands, fiber-optics and lenses. They can exercise their imagination by painting with light using special virtual paint brushes and by designing unique drawings on iPads that will project on the wall.
