ACM CHI 2018 – Best Paper Honourable Mention for “Phone vs. Tangible in Museum: A comparative Study”
9 November 2017 Daniela Petrelli gives a lecture at the Polifactory @ Politecnoco di Milano, Italy https://www.polifactory.polimi.it/en/
Since the early 90s museums and cultural heritage sites have experimented with emerging technology. From early multimedia to mobiles to tabletops to AR / VR, technology has been used to enrich the visit, but always keeping the material and the digital as distinct. New interactions that combine the digital and the material can be designed creating seamless experiences where technology disappear and the experience of being there emerges. Starting from a few bespoke installations across Europe used by over 20,000 visitors, the lecture discusses how interaction design can engage visitors physically and emotionally while tracking visitor’s behaviour enables to personalise post-visit interactions.
