Rethinking interactivity: design for participation in museums and galleries
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is a growing interest in museums and galleries to deploy novel technologies, such as computer exhibits, information kiosks and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) in their exhibitions. Museum managers and designers hope these technologies can help to facilitate new forms of participation and interactivity and enhance people’s understanding of exhibitions. This paper puts the impact of social interaction on people’s museum experience and understanding at its heart. It briefly discusses observations and findings from video-based field studies that we have undertaken to explore visitors’ conduct and interaction in museums and galleries. It uses the finding from our studies to begin to develop a number of design sensitivities that may be considered when designing and deploying new technologies and systems in museums and galleries.

Introduction It is increasingly recognized that social interaction, interaction between visitors, is critical to how we experience museums and galleries (e.g. Falk et al. 2000; Hein 1998). We often visit museums with others – whether friends, family, peers or colleagues – and even when we visit a museum alone we are sensitive to the behaviour of others. Our own research and studies by others re...
