Since the very beginning, the project of the exhibition foresaw the installation 
of seven Interactive Workstations, one in each major room. The Interactive 
Workstations are normal computers based on Intel processor with a Touch Screen Monitor, 
to let visitors to browse the information by their fingers. The software includes information 
about the ancient harbour, divided into the eight different chapters: Origin and Evolution, 
Sailing, Commerce, Public Life, Private Life, Pagan Religion, World of a Dead and Late 
Antiquity. All chapters are then hierarchically divided into paragraphs and then sections. 
Each section can include images (there are more than 400 high resolution pictures of the 
archaeological site), video clips, text with hyperlinks and pop-ups and images 3D.
