Re imaging traditional practices and leveraging technology to deliver richer and more engaging experiences in museums
The pandemic affected the way users interact with one another and especially how we approach storytelling. The event forced digital change and converged the sociocultural and technological advances in AI, robotics, and machine learning (Giannini and Bowen, 2022). Museums were heavily impacted by covid as interaction went from engaging with exhibits hands-on to avoiding touch altogether. The question several museums faced was ‘How do innovate different methods for user interactions while still preserving the museum atmosphere?’ Bringing to life intangible components with artistic interventions and performance design (Dal Falco and Vassis, 2017) gives new forms to the museum space and how museum culture is changing. Technology is a constantly changing market; over time, it has been used to change how information is showcased. Touch tables and digital signage have influenced the technological change in museums. More information can be engaged with, and experiences can be more in-depth. The limitations of how much information can be shared have grown exponentially. Alongside the changes in technology, the use of AI augmentation and virtual augmentation has evolved the business world, changing how individuals interact with banks, and healthcare, and experience physical content. One way that VR is being applied in the museum space is as a virtual showcase for users. It shows a three-dimensional overlay of physical artefacts (Bimber, Encarnacao, and Schmalstieg, 2003). The virtual showcase also includes video projectors to give a memorizing illuminating content per-pixel basis thus creating a realistic occlusion effect between the real and virtual objects (Bimber, Encarnacao, and Schmalstieg, 2003) giving the user a deeper experience. Changing the landscape to a more digital forefront will give museums the
Why is it important to use Artificial Intelligence to aid in digital interactions in museums?
