Science

Computer science is the study of computation, automation, and information. Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, and information theory) to practical disciplines (including the design and implementation of hardware and software).[2][3] Computer science is generally considered an area of academic research and distinct from computer programming. — Wikipedia

Computer Museums Lobby

Check out the New Media Museum’s newest experiment with making virtual museums!

Touch the 360° image to begin exploring, objects to learn about them, “i”s to learn about the museums, and doors to enter the virtual museums.

If you can’t see it, or it isn’t working, you can also see it directly on Kuula.

You can read the backstory about this and find a scavenger hunt on this Post.
