Hybrid design creates innovative museum experiences

Museums which rely on simple text panels for providing information to visitors about museum artifacts are discussed. The study involved extensive fieldwork, audio-visual recording, interviews and discussion with curators, museum, educators and exhibit designers. The radio frequency identification (RFID)-tagged paper enabled visitors to assemble a coherent experience from their interactions with different installations. It is suggested that ubiquitous technologies should be assembled and combined with other media to form a interactive and collaborative systems in the museum.
