Abstract
Specialet undersøger, hvordan museer kan skabe engagerende oplevelser ved at kombinere narrativt udstillingsdesign, materielle (håndgribelige) brugergrænseflader og infografisk design. Gennem en litteraturgennemgang identificeres centrale designhensyn, som samles i et designkoncept, der skal understøtte narrativ, materiel og information-let formidling – altså indhold med minimale, letforståelige informationer. Med udgangspunkt i dette koncept blev en ny prototypisk grænseflade udviklet og afprøvet i et casestudie på Storm P. Museet i Danmark. Evalueringen gav blandede resultater, men peger på lovende retninger for videre forskning på alle tre områder og styrker tilliden til den valgte designretning som et muligt grundlag for nye former for museumsformidling.
This thesis explores how museums can create engaging visitor experiences by combining narrative exhibition design, tangible user interfaces (hands-on, physical interfaces), and infographic design. A review of prior research identified key design considerations, which were assembled into a design concept intended to support narrative, tangible, and information-light dissemination—that is, conveying content with minimal, easy-to-grasp information. Guided by this concept, a novel prototype interface was developed and tested in a case study at the Danish Storm P. Museum. The evaluation produced mixed results, but it points to promising directions for future work across all three fields and supports the overall design approach as a potential basis for new forms of museum communication.
