“…HCI and related disciplines such as Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and Interaction Design have focused much attention on cultural heritage institutions as settings for both the deployment of novel digital technologies and the study of human interactions and practices with and around them (Brown et al, 2005;Ferris et al, 2004;Grinter et al, 2002;Koleva et al, 2009;Vom Lehn, Heath, & Hindmarsh, 2001). …”

“…Another significant contribution is the deployment and evaluation of a wide range of devices and interaction mechanisms at heritage settings, which have shown the potential that specific types of technological interventions can have for this domain: from digital/physical visits (Brown et al, 2005), to Augmented and Mixed Reality (Koleva et al, 2009), mobile devices (Benford et al, 2006;McGookin et al, 2012;Galani, Mazel, Maxwell, & Sharpe, 2013), tabletop interfaces (Hornecker, 2010), tangible artifacts (Ferris et al, 2004), and large interactive displays (Izadi et al, 2005), just to mention a few.…”

“…The design of interactive technologies in support of heritage experiences must be mindful of these place-related issues. Place and place-making are important aspects of the experience of cultural heritage that the presence of digital technologies can shape and mediate (Ferris et al, 2004). Although these issues have been touched upon in previous research, more work is needed to explore the interplay of physical and digital, and place-related concerns in examining collocated interaction in heritage settings.…”

This article examines visitor interactions with and through a physical/digital installation designed for an open-air museum that displays historic buildings and ways of life from the past. The installation was designed following the "Assembly" design scheme proposed by Fraser et al. (2003), and centered around five principles for the design of interactive experiences. We discuss how the Assembly framework was adapted and applied to our work on the installation called Reminisce, and we then present qualitative data gathered through the shadowing and naturalistic observations of small groups of visitors using Reminisce during their exploration of the museum. Through these data excerpts, we illustrate how interaction occurred among visitors and with the assembly. We reflect on the guiding principles of the adapted Assembly framework and on their usefulness for the design of place-specific interactional opportunities in heritage settings. Results from the empirical study show that the adapted Assembly principles provide HCI (human-computer interaction) researchers and designers with ways in which to flexibly support collocated interactions at heritage sites across artifacts and locations in ways that both complement and enrich the physical setting of the visit and its character.

“…The system is installed in a room (6x6x2.5m 3 ) in which a computer vision subsystem with 8 cameras tracks the position of visitors (for more details see [23]). On one wall a dual-projector back-projection screen (4.88x1.83m 2 ) is installed.…”

Abstract. This paper describes the outcomes stemming from the work of a multidisciplinary R&D project of ICS-FORTH, aiming to explore and experiment with novel interactive museum exhibits, and to assess their utility, usability and potential impact. More specifically, four interactive systems are presented in this paper which have been integrated, tested and evaluated in a dedicated, appropriately designed, laboratory space. The paper also discusses key issues stemming from experience and observations in the course of qualitative evaluation sessions with a large number of participants.

“…An open, non-didactic information structure that includes multiple views and activities can be successfully applied to interactive technology (Leslie & Gleeson 2005). The challenge is to plan the whole exhibition (not just one interaction point) and assure that each part is self contained but at the same time integrates and complements the others (an excellent example of such an approach is in Ferris et al 2004). The role of a modern museum is not any more that of exhibit significant artefacts, but the one of creating experiences for visitors (Cauton 1998).…”

Engaging with books you cannot touch: interactive multimedia to expose library treasures

Interactivity has proved a successful way to engage visitors of science museums. However it is not a common practice when the objects to exhibit are artefacts or, as in the case of this paper, books. A study was set up to investigate the driving criteria for the "The Life and Work of William Butler Yeats" exhibition at the National Library of Ireland and compare those with the visitors' opinion. Books, notebooks and personal belongings of the poet have been digitized and used to create a rich and varied exhibition that used both interactivity and multimedia. The result of visitors' survey showed that the variety was a key factor for the success of the exhibition: different people engaged with different contents and different medium to different degrees. The design of the ambience is critical: dim lights and the use of audio as a medium have to be carefully planned to avoid annoying instead of engaging.
