The Solar System exhibit consists of nine computers and monitors. Each computer essentially runs the same application, although each one opens to a different planet. Text, images, video and interactive "You on" each planet make up the contents of the program. The interactive touch screen exhibits appear around a scale model of the solar system.

The exhibit was developed in Adobe Flash and uses XML for all external content. The computers are networked together and a script was written that updates each automatically when the "Earth" station's content is changed. This exhibit is part of the Sudekum Planetarium at Adventure Science Center in Nashville, Tennessee. Ideum worked closely with the science center to develop a number of interactive exhibits and digital signage.
