This project for the Worcester Art Museum created a sustainable and modular tablet interactive for visitors to the museum’s Arms and Armor Gallery. The team conducted live surveys in order to gather the visitors’ opinions, as well as quantitatively analyzing prior tablet-based surveys. These surveys showed a desire for more objects and more information. The new application allows for increased content and provides a simulated "virtual-reality" experience. This improved interactive can be updated easily and constantly with an ever-changing exhibit.
