Each location will be indicated with a balloon bouquet. ENIAC Suite - Moore 100 Guests are welcome to visit ENIAC at any time throughout the day. Two notable additions to the artifact's display are 1) the plaque which describes ENIAC's history and purpose and 2) the interactive kiosk designed as a guide and historical reference for guests to explore. Virtual ENIAC Walk-Through - SIG Center for Computer Graphics, Moore 103 A continuous loop will be on display throughout the day that will give guests the sense of what it was like to walk around in the room where ENIAC was created and operated here at The Moore School before relocating to Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Virginia. ENIAC in 3D - Additive Lab, Towne Café Space Guests can watch a 3D model of ENIAC being built from the ground up on three state-of-the-art 3D color printers.
