Hi Daniele,

Please have a look on the PLUG project, here: http://codesignlab.wp.mines-telecom.fr/portfolio/plug/ or here: http://perso.telecom-paristech.fr/~gentes/CoDesignLab/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=65:plug&catid=44:default&Itemid=67

It was an augmented reality game (mobile phones, RFID, biometric sensors) in a Sciences and Technics museum in Paris, France.

Best,

Jerome

Hi,

I remember the last exhibition on Goya in Prado Museum had this kind of interaction. It was part of the new agreement between the Spanish Museum and Samsung as you can see here:

https://www.museodelprado.es/sala-de-prensa/noticias/noticia/browse/3/volver/72/actualidad/el-museo-del-prado-y-samsung-firman-un-acuerdo-de-colaboracion-para-mejorar-la-experiencia-y-apren/

I tried to make photos, but unfortunately this was specifically prohibited. I was interested in how the tablets were incorporated to the exhibition. 

You can link tangible interactions to epistemic interactions. You should be able to find a wide range of epistemic interactions that can be used for interacting with museum artifacts.  

Hi

Recently I found this video:

Hi Daniele,

I think the museums designed by Ranjit Makkuni can be of interest. You can have a look at a paper I published a few years ago: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/252063299_Syncretic_technologies_Ranjit_Makkuni_and_The_Planet_Health_Museum_in_Delhi

All the best,

Luca

Hi Daniele,

I totally understand your difficulty finding examples in which TUIs are used in the museum context. For the state of art of my master’s thesis I had the same problem, but I found some examples. However, my final master’s project was a functional prototype of a tangible user interface developed at MM Gerdau – Museum of Mines and Metal, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil last year. Here is the video about my project: https://vimeo.com/122708170

And here is my thesis link: http://ria.ua.pt/bitstream/10773/12924/1/tese.pdf

It is written in Portuguese because I am from Portugal, but between pages 49 and 51 I present some examples of TUIs in museums. From page 62 to the end it is all about the study, implementation and evaluation of the interactive exhibitor I developed. If you need help to translate or if I can give you more information, please let me know; my e-mail is [email protected]

All the best,

Roberto Vaz

You asked this question a while ago, so maybe you have enough information. If you're still looking, here's a reference from a tangible interface exhibit at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, USA:

Using a Tangible Versus a Multi-touch Graphical User Interface to Support Data Exploration at a Museum Exhibit

Hi Daniele,

I know it is a long time since you asked this question, but it matches perfectly my research interest and my PhD topic.

As part of my PHD study, I am conducting experimental studies at the Royal Museum of Art and History in Brussels using tangible interaction for communicating built heritage information.

Here are some publications:

a) Work-in-progress paper: The Role of Tangible Interaction for Communicating Qualitative Information of Built Heritage:

http://ocs.editorial.upv.es/index.php/arqueologica20/arqueologica8/paper/view/4153

b) Doctoral consortium paper at TEI 2017: Communicating Built Heritage Information Using Tangible Interaction Approach:

http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3025035

c) an accepted paper at the International Conference on Digital Heritage (Olimje, Slovenia - May 2017): Collaborative Tangible Gamification of Built Heritage for Young Museum Visitors.
