Our Luminary Partners
We thank these extraordinary supporters for their generous contributions to the Exploratorium.
You may have seen self-driving cars passing you on the streets of San Francisco. Have you ever wondered how these vehicles can “see” the world around them? To demonstrate to our visitors the science behind this feat of technology, the Exploratorium partnered with autonomous car company Waymo to create a new exhibit that was featured during our reopening.
Waymo worked closely with the Exploratorium design team to create Sensor Fusion, an interactive exhibit that demystifies LIDAR (light detection and ranging) technology. This technology is becoming increasingly common, and has the potential to change not only transportation, but also fields such as surveying, archaeology, geology, and forestry. Sensor Fusion made a playful addition to the Exploratorium’s seeing and perception exhibits in Bechtel Gallery 3.
Waymo joined the Exploratorium as the Presenting Sponsor of our July 2021 reopening. Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with a mission to make it safe and easy for people and things to get where they're going.
