Blog Post 2-1

So how does the writing process feel? Not... the best, but one step at a time, I suppose. My thesis remains to determine how augmented reality can boost visitor engagement. Either a win state or a loss state, and the loss state can consist of either a decreased engagement for whatever reason, or no increased engagement (a loss state since all that effort and for what?). Visitor engagement is another murky description, I personally narrow it down to a combination of attendance, retention, and what one was able to intellectually gain from the exhibition. So definitions are a good start. Next, a case study for an exhibition had in Taiwan that went very much into augmented reality, it's an excellent study that considers quite a few things, to say the least. But while this one was successful and fairly unique in its own aspect, you have to look at the opposite side of the spectrum, see examples that unfortunately did not pan out, and see how one was able to triumph while the other did, what steps, etc. It's... challenging, but this is only a draft of 8 pages, a lot of time is ahead.

  1. Hi Dante, I am glad to see your topic progressing. It would be interesting to see if any museums have measured the effectiveness of AR. Have you looked into this? And, do they use an either/or scenario, like what you've suggested above? The reality may be more nuanced than that. . . I'd be happy to discuss!
