Children interacting with the Time Crystal pendant at the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff
A newly-invented piece of technology is helping to give visitors to the Doctor Who Experience the time of their lives.

Sarner created the wearable ‘Time Crystal’ pendant for the “regenerated” attraction in Cardiff, UK, in an attempt to draw visitors into the experience. Given out at the start of the attraction, the pendant glows, flashes and goes through a sequence of colours at certain junctures in the storyline of the experience.

As well as infrared and LED components, the device also vibrates, creating a “more multi-sensory experience”, according to Sarner projects director Ed Cookson.

“The wearable technology had to make sense as part of the story whilst adding to the visitor’s experience, but it became apparent to us that there was nothing on the market readily available so we had to invent our own,” he said. “The pendant was designed from the ground up as a creative solution, to make sense as part of our story.”

Each guest is given a visitor pass on a lanyard at the beginning of the Doctor Who Experience, allowing them access to the sacred Museum of Gallifrey. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that the Time Crystal embedded into the pass has a special connection to the TARDIS, and must be used to help save the Doctor in a dramatic finale.
