The technical innovation of the exhibition is the creation of the Carnival Interactive designed by a specialist team from The Ohio State University. This interactive multi-media programme will enable you to interact with an on-screen computer presentation revealing Notting Hill Carnival's history, music, mas players, and culture. The programme creates the illusion of 3D environments and offers something new to discover each time you use the application. You can be on the streets of Notting Hill, in a Mas camp or at Carnival Splash - getting an immersive and empowering experience of carnival that books and video tapes cannot give you.
