Reagan Ranch Center lets visitors interact with exhibits using smartphones

The Reagan Ranch Center, an interpretive center that maintains President Reagan's Western White House in Santa Barbara, California, is bringing visitors from around the world a safe touchless interactive experience, according to a press release.

Freetouch, provider of software solutions for touchless interactivity, eliminates the need for physical contact with the center's touchscreens. Instead, visitors use their smartphones to interact with the Freetouch enabled touchscreen exhibit, including five large-format interactive timelines of Reagan's 25 years at his ranch. The center also offers Freetouch on two other interactive exhibits in the museum, letting users explore archives of Reagan presidential radio addresses and White House logs.

As part of its re-opening strategy, The Reagan Ranch Center will use Freetouch to create a safe and contact-free environment for the general public. Serving visitors with reservations at 25% capacity, the center will soon offer visitors to its 20,000 square-foot center the same engaging experience that they have come to enjoy in the past, while maintaining important safety protocols.

Working with Stimulant, an experience design agency and the creator of Freetouch, the Reagan Ranch Center has also completed a Freetouch-enabled exhibit featuring a piece of the Berlin wall. This coincided with the anniversary of the wall's falling on Nov. 9, 1989.
