The Ebbets Field exhibit, meanwhile, has offered Ideum a unique chance to help highlight Jackie Robinson’s legacy.“We’ve always wanted to bring players into the world of Core Keeper early to help shape the game and make the best experience possible. “Projects like that have allowed us to keep our staff working with very few layoffs from the pandemic,” Shreckengast told the Journal. That project alone involved nearly all of the company’s 45 employees, said Ideum Chief Experience Officer Rebecca Shreckengast. “The migration cycle then turns to night and the kids see other species, like fireflies.” “Children stand in a virtual meadow with flowers and plants, while looking up at butterflies, locusts and other insects flying overhead,” Spadaccini said. That project, which Ideum completed in January, encompasses more than 20 interactive exhibits focused on insects and reptiles, with projection and screen-based technology to create such things as an illuminated “Living River” corridor and a full-dome projection room showing insect migration in vibrant color that changes from day to night. “Our sales cratered.”īut, since last year, business has picked back up, thanks in good part to some major, full-immersion projects, including a sprawling, two-building “Wildlife Explorers Basecamp” for children that Ideum built for the San Diego Zoo. “2020 was a hard year for us,” Spadaccini said. “Younger people particularly enjoyed all the interactive tools to navigate around the field while listening to music from the era.” “Attendees really loved the experience that Ideum helped create,” Philbert told the Journal. But the Ebbets Field exhibit in particular stood out during the opening, said Ivo Philbert, foundation vice president for community engagement, partnership and communications. The 20,000-square-foot center includes some 4,500 artifacts and 40,000 historical images.

Rachel Robinson cut the ribbon at the July 26 museum opening, which included such celebrities as Spike Lee and Billie Jean King, plus a keynote by New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Jackie Robinson’s widow, Rachel Robinson, who turned 100 in July, cut the ribbon Tuesday to inaugurate the new Jackie Robinson Museum in Manhattan. His widow, Rachel Robinson – who turned 100 in July – created the Jackie Robinson Foundation in 1973 to provide education and university scholarships to Black students. Robinson broke the Major League Baseball color barrier when he debuted for the Dodgers in spring 1947 and, after retiring from the sport in 1956, he went on to break more barriers in advertising, broadcast and business, including the creation of a bank dedicated to assisting Black citizens. But the Ebbets Field exhibit marks one of Ideum’s highest-profile achievements to date, earning accolades from the Jackie Robinson Foundation, which spent more than a decade planning the new museum to highlight Robinson’s life and achievements, not just as a sports icon, but as one of the 20th century’s most-important civil rights activists. Since launching in 1999, Ideum has created hundreds of high-tech interactive displays that today greet visitors at museums, zoos, libraries, corporate offices and tourist destinations in the U.S., and in some three dozen other countries. “And alongside the stadium model, the LED-tile wall helps drive the whole visitor experience.” “It’s an immersive, story-telling platform with players running around the field, fans packed into the stands and built-in graphics to highlight everything,” Spadaccini told the Journal. And, as visitors watch the action, a large LED-tile wall behind the stadium model flashes video and images that tell stories about Robinson, the Dodgers and the stadium, said Ideum founder and CEO Jim Spadaccini.
There’s even a peep hole, or kids’ “peekaboo,” cut into the left side of the fence surrounding the field.
Bullpens, dugouts and press boxes are all illuminated, alongside era-based advertising signs seen at the stadium during the heyday of the Dodgers. The Corrales-based interactive design firm built a scale model of the stadium as a signature exhibit at the museum, which opened Tuesday in Lower Manhattan, providing guests with a bird’s-eye view of team members playing on the field as the score board lights up and some 33,000 3D-printed fans cheer from the stands. Visitors to the newly inaugurated Jackie Robinson Museum in New York City can take a virtual tour of the iconic Ebbets Field where the baseball legend played with the Brooklyn Dodgers, thanks to a new, immersive exhibit created by Ideum Inc.
