Hybrid Museum Experiences
On Monday 4 April, 2022 at 15.00–16.30 CET, DigiTalks at Design School Kolding goes online with Anders Sundnes Løvlie, Associate Professor at the IT University of Copenhagen.
Museums are eager to use technology to create interesting experiences for their visitors – but both museums and visitors fear the “heads-down phenomenon” which has visitors walking through exhibitions with their eyes locked to the mobile screen, oblivious to the physical treasures surrounding them. Designing “heads-up experiences” entails working with a hybrid design space – navigating between the physical and the virtual, the personal and the social, and the authoritative and the speculative.
In his talk, Anders Sundnes Løvlie will present insights from a 3-year European research project involving artists, designers, HCI researchers and a wide range of European museums.
