Ziel des im September 2014 eröffneten Museums ist es, allen Alters- und Interessensgruppen einen Überblick über den Stand der interaktiven Technik zu geben und sie für die Zukunft von Interaktion zu sensibilisieren. So wie sich die Technologie immer weiterentwickelt, so befindet sich auch die Ausstellung in ständigem Wandel. Es lohnt sich also, regelmäßig vorbei zu kommen und nach neuen Exponaten in der Ausstellung Ausschau zu halten.
