Re-tracing the past: mixing realities in museum settings

Interactive exhibits are now commonplace in museum settings. However, many technologies co-exist uneasily with more traditional methods of display. In this paper we describe a design strategy for mixing realities in museum spaces. An approach is adopted for developing `interactives' whi...
