Interactive Radio: Exploring Visitors Stories using a Radio Interface: << ROOM OF OPINION>> Retracing the past: exploring objects, stories, mysteries (June 2003) was an exhibition held in the Hunt Museum The Hunt Museum and the Interaction Design Centre of The University of Limerick, in Ireland, jointly developed this exhibition. At that exhibition there was a Room of pinion where visitiors coul leave a message about the nature and possible use of some mysterious objects. Comments were collected, and visitors could listen to them in rel time through a radio in the Sudy room. The sound of earlier opinions also generated a sort of murmur that was heard in the same room.

Visitors could see and listen to their own comments recorded. (hier zitiert nach Salgado, ., Breaking Apart Participation in Museums, S. 3f)

Design Lessons from Storytellers Alternative Uses of Storytelling The use of storytelling can be found in team-building, training and marketing. A short story may be used as an introduction, so that everybody starts to adjust their mindset to absorb and reflect the emotions and feelings embedded in the story and what comes next.

The ubiquity of mobile devices and the advent of augmented reality provide an opportunity to explore the use of interactive design in what is traditionally a difficult educational space: the art museum. The NGA Experience app (shown here on an iPhone but theoretically platform-agnostic) uses augmented reality to populate the art museum with a digital layer of content that is virtually infinite, yet completely optional for visitors. Such an application of AR in the museum ultimately provides a greater level of control and engagement to the museum visitor and enhances his or her opportunity for a meaningful experience without altering the physical space of the gallery.

Students developed a set of prototype smartphone apps for the Museum of Modern Art, based on a field study of museum visitors.

Students developed a set of prototype smartphone apps for the Museum of Modern Art, based on a field study of museum visitors. After synthesizing their research findings and developing a set of personas, the students began prototyping and testing their product concepts. Finally, they presented their concepts to a panel of representatives from the Museum of Modern Art. These presentations reflect the research and design methods used throughout the process.

While museums have long strived to be welcoming places as well as havens of learning, social media is turning them into virtual community centers. On Facebook or Twitter or almost any museum Web site, everyone has a voice, and a vote. Curators and online visitors can communicate, learning from one another. As visitors bring their hand-held devices to visits, the potential for interactivity

Concluding this two-part article, we hear from creative professionals who are leading the way in this relatively new world of combining the craft of storytelling with user experience. We'll also see how storytelling can be applied to more than just interactive experiences: we find it in everything from packaging to architecture.

Digital New Zealand is an initiative... "This interactive online video mashup uses EditorOne to let visitors create their own short videos using historic video images, still photographs, artifacts, music and audio clips."

In this paper we illustrate how Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), combining lightweight information architecture with advanced search paradigms (like faceted search) and interactive visualization strategies, can be used to better support a number of communication goals.
