Data
becomes knowledge
Health data lies scattered. With doctors, health insurers, registries, in research. Only when linked does it become knowledge that benefits everyone. But data protection and connectivity are unwieldy topics. Hard to explain. Harder still to experience. BIPS wanted to make them tangible aboard the MS Wissenschaft.
What emerged is a hands-on exhibit with heart: complete the puzzle and you make it glow. Touch it, try it out – and see instantly whether it fits.
The result: on tour at around 35 locations in five months – as one of roughly 30 exhibits on board.
What the exhibit shows
Intuitive
feedback.
You take a piece and set it in. If it fits, the heart pulses green. If it doesn't, red. No screen, no complicated readout – the colour says it all. With every correct piece the green glows brighter. Once the last piece is in place, the heart flashes three times. What was abstract – scattered data, its value in the linking – becomes an experience in a single move.
How the exhibits
came about
From planning
to construction.
The concept came from BIPS. The technology from us. We developed the exhibit technically and built it in-house: the magnetic sensors, the 3D-printed puzzle pieces, the lacquered body, the acrylic glass insert, the programmed backlighting. Sensors, programming, media technology – from a single source. Built for a five-month tour across changing locations, through many hands. It has to run. Every day. The concept came from the institute. That it works came from us.
“What particularly won us over was the clear, uncomplicated communication and the creative eye of the whole team, even beyond the actual brief. We are very happy with the result, both professionally and in terms of design. For us, ping is a reliable partner we would gladly work with again at any time.”

When an idea has to
become an object
Let’s turn it
into an
exhibit.
You have a concept – we make it work. Engineering, prototyping, construction and programming from a single source.
On time, on budget, reliable from day one.
