Today most people play games on mobile phones or high end, specialized devices, but it wasn&rsquo;t always that way. In the 1970&rsquo;s and early 1980&rsquo;s, video games were flourishing in the public spaces of video arcades, but the mass production of home media consoles led to gaming as a home family activity.<\/p><p>&ldquo;The consoles in this exhibit are a piece of our shared digital history,&rdquo; said Jim Groom, executive director of teaching and learning technologies. &ldquo;They&rsquo;re a pre-cursor to the technology we take for granted now.&rdquo;<\/p><p>Situated in the ITCC, the site highlights the history and evolution of technology by contrasting original video games and movies on vinyl with the building&rsquo;s state-of-the-art structure.<\/p><p>&ldquo;This building, the Convergence Center, is about converging information technology for the future,&rdquo; said Zach Whalen, associate professor of English. &ldquo;But historically, new media converged within the technological ecosystems of living rooms everywhere.&rdquo;<\/p><p>According to Groom, there is a story in the technology that is no longer around today.<\/p><p>&ldquo;A lot of this is forgotten technology,&rdquo; said Groom. &ldquo;Take, for example, RCA&rsquo;s Selecta-A-Vision videodiscs.&rdquo; He points to a bunch of over-sized vinyl video platters against the paneled walls that resemble floppy discs. &ldquo;That failed format captures a bizarre hybrid of analog and digital that represents a transitional moment in consumer technology in the 80s.&rdquo;<\/p><p>The exhibit&rsquo;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.consolelivingroom.net\/inventory\/\" target=\"_blank\">collection<\/a> includes well-known video games like <em>Space Invaders<\/em>, <em>Pitfall<\/em> and the original <em>Super Mario Brothers<\/em>. Among the video collection are movies both on VHS and videodisc, such as the copy of <em>Footloose<\/em> vinyl videodiscs from 1984.<\/p><p>Other institutions also have created exhibits featuring older technologies including the University of Colorado Boulder, which has a <a href=\"http:\/\/mediaarchaeologylab.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">media archeology lab<\/a>. For Whalen, the ability to interact with the exhibit was key to the design.<\/p><p>&ldquo;Accessibility was a key factor in designing the exhibit,&rdquo; said Whalen. &ldquo;We want students to be able to play the games and appreciate how far technology has come.&rdquo;<\/p><p>For more information about the exhibit or donations to the collection, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.consolelivingroom.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.consolelivingroom.net\/<\/a>.
