Designing Interactive Museum Exhibits: Enhancing visitor curiosity through augmented artefacts

In this paper, we describe the current work being conducted at the Interaction Design Centre on the design and development of a novel interactive museum exhibition. The particular context and cultural setting of the museum calls for a careful approach to the introduction of technology in such a context. We present some of the findings from our early field studies, and discuss how we are attempting to take these findings into account in our ongoing design processes.
