Current Design

So our current design, which is the one that we are going to present tomorrow is one that combines the best parts of our previous designs. It is essentially a refined version of our most recent concept (Adapted Position Questioning).

The main ideas for this concept is to make the visit memorable and individual. We also want to utilize competing as a tool for learning by customizing questions and rewarding interaction with the exhibition. One vital part of our design is that we don't want it to take focus from the exhibition, but rather be a complement to enhance the experience and make it more memorable.

We believe that this concept could be adapted by all sorts of museums, but the one we had in mind when designing was The Museum of Natural History.

So how do we plan to do this?
Screens - The museum already has integrated screens as part of the exhibition. We want to utilize these, but in a different way. We also want to separate the informational screens from the screens assigned to answering questions.

RFID-tags - Using RFID-tags we want to identify where the user has been and what he/she has been interacting with. This tag is to be integrated with a bracelet that is assigned to the visitor upon arrival. When you have gathered enough information, the bracelet will let you know that there are questions for you if you like. We plan on making this alert visual by a light source. When you are being notified you can go to any of the screens assigned to questions, which will then notice who wants to answer question by the RFID-tag and then give customized questions for that particular user, based on its previous interaction.
