To accomplish this, The Computer Museum created a 50 times life-size working model of a multimedia PC that can be explored from the inside and the outside. Visitors can use the giant trackball to try applications on the giant screen, experiencing what a typical PC can do for them. These labels are color-coded so that the parts can be grouped by function.
Visitors can walk through the computer and quickly identify all of the parts and their functions.
At the microprocessor, visitors take control of the entire PC by fetching, decoding, and executing instructions. Data whizzes around the motherboard as patterns of moving light. Each of the actual size parts is labeled with its name, purpose, and some basic information about how it works.
