Trivium teamed up with Discovery Lab to create three interactive experiences for Riders Ready: The Science of BMX, an exhibit that introduces young visitors to this thrilling sport. Build A Bike lets visitors customize a BMX bike, choosing from a variety of parts for freestyle or racing and adding a unique paint job. Build A Track uses 3D blocks to show how well-balanced obstacles create an exciting, rideable course. The program detects each block’s placement and integrates its shape into the digital track, seamlessly blending physical and digital interaction. Starting Gate challenges visitors to test their reaction times on real BMX bikes. As they hear the Riders Ready countdown, they shift their weight forward, triggering the sensor to capture their start time. Visitors can compete against each other or can try to beat their own scores.
