Alien Stingers

纽约水族馆是野生动物保护协会的一个子公司，正在开发一个4000平方英尺的永久展览，展示蛇形动物、水母和它们的亲戚。这次展览将展示紫色条纹水母、雨伞水母和狮子鬃水母等物种。其他将展出的动物包括五颜六色的海葵和活珊瑚。参观者将了解Cnidaria及其栖息地、生态角色、适应以及与其他海洋生物的关系。还将重点介绍濒危物种、人类对栖息地的影响以及各种保护工作。展览设计将使用戏剧性的灯光、音乐和独特的展示来创造一种奇妙和神秘的感觉。可移动的3D模型、交互式图形和特殊设计的圆柱形水箱将带来激发好奇心和学习的展览体验。该项目有一个全面的、多层次的评估计划，围绕两个展品开幕式构建。第一轮评估将考察二维图形和原型互动的影响。计划中的第二个开放将增加复杂的原型互动，旨在呈现更复杂的信息。这两个层面的评估都将被用来塑造永久展品的图形，并促进自主学习。一个带有直播果冻摄像头的网站支持这次展览，以及为不同观众提供的一系列教育节目和材料。计划中的补充材料包括家庭手册、儿童活动指南、游客指南和一本关于水母的儿童书籍。预计每年将有超过815,000名游客观看《异形毒刺》。

The New York Aquarium, a subsidiary of the Wildlife Conservation Society, is developing Alien Stingers, a 4000 square foot, permanent exhibit featuring Cnidarians, jellyfish and their relatives. This exhibit will showcase species such as the purple stripe, umbrella and lion's mane jellies. Other animals to be presented include colorful sea anemones and live corals. Visitors will learn about Cnidaria and their habitats, ecological roles, adaptations and relationships with other ocean life. Endangered species, human impact on habitats and various conservation efforts will also be highlighted. The exhibit design will create a sense of wonder and mystery using dramatic lighting, music and unique displays. Moveable 3D models, interactive graphics and specially designed cylindrical tanks will result in an exhibit experience that stimulates curiosity and invites learning. The project has a comprehensive, multi-level evaluation plan structured around two exhibit openings. The first round of evaluation will look at the impact of two-dimensional graphics and prototype interactives. A second opening is planned which will add complex prototype interactives that are designed to present more intricate messages. Both layers of evaluation will be used to shape the permanent exhibit graphics and promote self-directed learning. A website with a live jelly-cam supports this exhibit, along with a host of educational programs and materials for various audiences. A family handbook, children's activity guides, visitor guides and a children's book on jellyfish are among the supplemental materials planned. It is anticipated that over 815,000 visitors will view Alien Stingers on an annual basis.
