The chance to do that is now made a reality by visiting the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki 5HFRUGV*XLWDU6PDVK$OPRVW,QVWUXPHQWV%URNHQ Museum in Big Cypress. According to Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum Curator Saul Drake, the Seminole War Timeline touchtable, which launched in August, is the newest piece of technology at the facility and has an array of features that make it similar to using a personal iPhone. “With this piece of equipment, you have 200 points of touch,” Drake said of the touchpad. “What that means is we’re able to get large groups of people to touch this at the same time.” Drake said that up to 10 people can look at the Seminole War Timeline at once. “As you move your hands across [the touchpad], you’re interacting with the screen,” Drake said. When one scrolls down the Seminole War Timeline, a group of access points can take the individual through audio, video and texts of information related to the Seminole Wars. The touchtable device, powered by Microsoft Surface, operates like a conventional computer desktop and features galleries and folders such as photo archives, oral histories and the touted war timeline. In addition, one could listen to audio of the Seminole War Timeline via the use of a podcast on an MP3 player or iPhone. “We uploaded the information on the touchtable,” Drake said. “You could take an audio tour of anything that’s on there.” The Seminole War Timeline is comprised of the three Seminole Wars fought on United States soil in the 19th century. It includes links to the events leading up to each of the wars and what transpired during and after the action. “It’s really easy for people to jump right to those things,” Drake said. “If they don’t want to go through the detailed parts of history, they don’t have to.” Please see MUSEUM on page 2A 7ULEDO6WXGHQW-DUULG6PLWK*UDGXDWHV ZLWK0DVWHU·V'HJUHHIURP)$8 Hard Rock Hotel & Casino See story and more A festive overhead view of the history making Winner’s Way Parking Garage grand opening celebration at the Hard Rock Dec. 15 in Hollywood.
