Visitor movement as implicit human-computer interactions in museums
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper outlines a novel location-based visitor assistant system in museums. It introduces visitor movement as a user-friendly and natural mechanism for enabling visitors. It enables visitors to explicitly or implicitly select annotation content about the exhibits and answer quizzes about their knowledge by their moving to specified spots in a museum. We operated the system at a science museum in Japan and received many positive evaluations from visitors.

An Analysis of Visitor Circulation:
How visitors circulate through museums determines what they will see, where they will focus their attention, and, ultimately, what they will learn and experience. Unfortunately, the consistency of these movement patterns is not readily apparent. This article reviews the literature on visitor circulation in light of the general value principle which predicts choice behavior as a ratio of perceiv...
متن کاملExploring and Interacting with Virtual Museums
Traditional exhibitions in museums provide limited possibilities of interaction between the visitor and their artefacts. Usually, interaction is confined to reading labels with little information on the exhibits, shop booklets, and audio guided tours. These forms of interaction provide minimal information, and do not respond to a visitor’s personalized information preferences. As a result, ther...
متن کاملLooking Back and Looking Forward: the Rise of the Visitor-centered Museum
This paper presents some personal perceptions about “drivers of change,” which have impacted the role and nature of museums since the 1980s, leading to the rise of the visitor-centered museum. Such changes mirror developments occurring in society. In the case of museums, a decline in public funding has occurred at a time when increased resources are required to enable museums to successfully co...
متن کاملA Computer-Supported Methodology for Recording and Visualising Visitor Behaviour in Museums
Developing user modelling and personalisation techniques for museums requires datasets about visitor behaviour in the physical museum space (i. e., visitor pathways). Advancing traditional paper-based tracking techniques, this demonstration presents a computer-supported methodology for (1) observationally recording visitors’ time-annotated pathways in physical museums, and (2) post-collection p...
متن کاملModeling Context Is Like Taking Pictures
PREFACE The discussion reported in this paper derives from our experience in designing and implementing two location− aware adaptive systems: HyperAudio [4, 13] and HIPS [5]. Both systems are hand−held electronic museum guides that adapt their behavior to the one of the individual visitor. The common idea behind is to create an augmented museum where the main interaction modality is the physica...
