| description | 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'
which complement rather than replace conventional
methods. Our approach is explored through an exhibition
which provides visitors with the opportunity to hear and
leave opinions on unclassified historical artefacts. An
analysis of visitor interaction reveals that avoiding
simulation of established methods can allow visitors to
weave novel and traditional practices. These results indicate
designs for mixing realities in broader settings. |
