Shadow Puppetry

Children's Playground

★Exhibit Content: Shadow Puppetry ★Interaction: Electromechanical Interaction ★Operation: Stand at the operation console, select the themed shadow puppet fixed on the tabletop, grip the control rod tightly, and press the bottom end of the rod against the moving guide rail on the tabletop; by pushing, pulling, and rotating the control rod, try to make the shadow puppet perform actions such as walking, and freely create your own story; while operating, you can watch the shadow puppet animation independently playing on the projection screen. ★Exhibit Description: The exhibit consists of a carriage-shaped display stand, a translucent projection screen, a light source component, guide rails with shadow puppets, and control rods. It is a recommended exhibit from the PopsciCat Exhibit Store. Visitors can personally manipulate the shadow puppets and perform in front of the screen. The light projects the puppet outlines onto the translucent screen to form clear shadows. Visitors become shadow puppetry performers, independently arranging short stories, while accompanied by the playing shadow puppet animation, experiencing the charm of traditional shadow puppetry art and learning about the straight-line propagation of light. ★Scientific Principle: The core principle of shadow puppetry is that light travels in straight lines. When light from a source encounters an opaque shadow puppet during propagation, the light cannot penetrate the object, and a corresponding dark shadow is formed on the translucent screen behind, which is the shadow. By manipulating the puppets to change the form of light blockage, people can perform dynamic pictures on the screen. This ancient folk art is also a typical application of geometric optics in traditional culture.
