Abstract

Interactive exhibits are now commonplace in museum settings. However, many technologies co-exist uneasily

with more traditional methods of display. In this paper we

describe a design strategy for mixing realities in museum

spaces. An approach is adopted for developing `interactives'

which complement rather than replace conventional

methods. Our approach is explored through an exhibition

which provides visitors with the opportunity to hear and

leave opinions on unclassified historical artefacts. An

analysis of visitor interaction reveals that avoiding

simulation of established methods can allow visitors to

weave novel and traditional practices. These results indicate

designs for mixing realities in broader settings.
