About Ideum

At Ideum, we are passionately committed to pushing the boundaries of design and technology, creating innovative products and services that inspire and excite visitors to public spaces. We collaborate with museums, zoos, aquariums, cultural centers, educational institutions, and Fortune 500 companies to bring these visions to life.

History Approach & Values

Ideum has produced interpretive exhibits that inspire wonder, awe, and surprise for twenty-five years. From our studios in Corrales, New Mexico, we craft meaningful visitor experiences that explore science, art, history, and culture for clients.

As a full-service exhibit design and production company, we specialize in creating immersive experiences, interactive exhibitions, and unique installations. We also have a line of touch tables and touchscreens that we sell directly worldwide.

Our multitouch tables, kiosks, and touch walls are practical implementations of recent advances in interactive technologies. Our hardware products are built for use in social environments where they encourage interaction and collaboration. We’ve been designing touch tables since 2008 and have sold our interactive products in nearly 50 countries worldwide.

Our wide-ranging expertise covers exhibit design, UI/UX design, software programming, exhibit fabrication, hardware technologies integration, video production, animation, user research and evaluation, museum planning, and more. This comprehensive skill set allows us to provide a complete solution for our clients' exhibit design and production needs.

We are committed to creating meaningful, memorable experiences through design and engineering that innovate our field and benefit our communities.
Our expertise includes exhibit design, software and hardware design, HCI, UI/UX design, programming, audio/ visual systems, fabrication, video and photography, research and user evaluation, and more.

Unique & Multifaceted

We stand out from other exhibit design firms because we understand design and production from all angles. We design custom exhibits and build unique, turnkey hardware products, develop interactive software, and fabricate, integrate, test, and install. Our experience in these realms makes us a better partner when collaborating with our clients and other design, software, AV, and fabrication firms.

As seen in well over 100 interactive projects, our work spans informal and formal education, gaming, art, linear media, interactive media, interpretation, entertainment, and marketing. We love our work and work with a wide range of clients to help tell important stories.

Exhibit Design, Industrial Design & Product Development

Our Creative Services group is responsible for thoughtfully designing custom exhibits and exhibitions. We work closely with our clients and partners to take projects from concept to schematic design to final design and build.

Our Industrial Design group designs and revises our touch tables, displays, and other devices. We are dedicated to investigating new input devices, electronics, sensors, software packages, and other emerging products and technologies. 

We are leaders in the field of tangible object recognition for surface computing. We have been developing Tangible Engine software since 2016. We are also strongly committed to making interactive exhibits more accessible and have published white papers on ADA accessibility.
