Giles Velarde was the design consultant for a new museum being built at the Rye Castle and East Street sites. He proposed a computer data base of the history of Rye which would save lots of text panels around the walls.

Reliable laptops running Windows 95 were supplied by Dell and an AV display program called Dazzler was chosen to run the show. I had to design and build a remote keyboard interface which was simply up and down, select and more buttons so the visitor could easily navigate the menus.

Members of the Rye museum association supplied pages of historical data that I had to write up in a suitable format and add photos and drawings as required.

6 of the displays were built, housed in cabinets with some environmental control as the castle was very damp.

I also supplied the electronic lighting effects for a map display showing how the sea had receded since Tudor times.
