What is a Trick Box?
Well,
a Trick box is a Controller that is used to enhance a display or presentation. A
voice or music (or any audio) message
can be recorded into the Trick-Boxs'
memory.
The
Trick-Box also has another important feature - that is a built-in relay circuit
that can be used to control any
external operation.
Now, combine those two features together and you have MAGIC!
How so ? Well take a look at these scenarios .............
1) You
are at a Theme or Amusement Park, you walk are walking through a 'Fun Tunnel'.
Suddenly a Ghost leaps out at you
and screaches "BOOOoo". The next person walks past and the Ghost leaps out and screams
"AHA-Ha-haaaa"!!!
The Trick-Box can record many messages that are played when triggered
consecutively or as a continuous loop.
2) You
are in a Supermarket and walk past a shelf of Washing Powder. Suddenly a
wonderful display of dazzling lights
comes
on and a cheerful voice informs you
of the special Offer today on Bozo's Washing Powder.
3) You are relaxing at a museum, and every display you approach lights up and a voice tells you about the items on display.
The three scenarios above are ways in which the Trick-box can be used. The possibilities are endless.
The many features incorporated in the Trick-box enable one to configure the unit to accomodate your particular requirements.
