Friday Five: How Museums are Using Digital to Enhance Visitor Experience
Because museums are not inherently participatory but can use digital integration to enhance the experience. Around the world museums are transforming history into a multimedia experience. Author and exhibit designer Nina Simon writes on her blog that museums can evolve in the way the web has from 1.0 to 2.0. She says, like the web, museums have the potential, “to transform from static content authorities to dynamic platforms for content generation, dialogue and sharing.” And many museums are already doing just that.The Museum of the Future » Charming tour guide versus mobile 3D AR app

I've been very quiet lately - exams for my MSc and work on the digital infrastructure for two new galleries (and a contemporary science news website) opening next week at the Science Museum have kept me busy - but I wanted to take a moment to post about my dissertation project. (Which reminds me, I should write up the architecture I designed to extend our core Sitecore CMS with WordPress to support social media-style interactions with Science Museum-authored content.) Anyway. This project is for my dissertation for City University's Human-Centred Systems MSc . I'm happy to share the whole outline, but it's a bit academic in format for a blog post so I've just posted an excerpt here. I'd love to hear your comments, particularly if you know of or have been involved in creating, crowdsourced museum projects or games for social good.
