Tilted House

Life & Health

★Exhibit Content: Sense of balance, vestibular system, experience and illusion ★Interaction: Scene interaction ★Operation: Participants enter the cabin from the entrance along the escalator and walk inside to experience the strange feeling caused by the tilt. When feeling dizzy, they exit from the exit. ★Exhibit Description: The interior floor of the exhibit is designed with an 18° tilt angle, but the walls remain vertical, creating a space that completely contradicts daily experience. When participants enter the cabin and walk, they will feel difficulty walking, unstable standing, and even dizziness, thereby intuitively understanding the working principle of the human balance system. This exhibit transforms abstract physiological principles into a hands-on sensory experience, making it a classic exhibit for exploring the mysteries of the human body and experiencing the charm of science. ★Scientific Principle: The human sense of balance comes from the vestibular system in the ear. The vestibular sense perceives balance information (vertical or tilted); vision perceives the horizontal condition of the ground; muscles send information about tension; the brain integrates these pieces of information to make judgments and issues commands to bones, muscles, and related organs. When participants enter the tilted cabin, due to the 18-degree tilt of the floor, the vestibular sense responds to standing on a tilted surface, but the walls seen are still vertical. The visual information generated by experience creates the illusion of still standing on a horizontal floor. The conflicting information comes together, making it impossible for the brain to issue correct commands, so participants feel difficulty walking. Through the monitor outside the cabin, one can see how participants inside lose their balance.
