dc.description.abstract | The digitization of museum collections has the potential not only to make them accessible remotely but also to augment their in-situ exploration at the gallery. We are interested in how mobile visual interfaces to museum collections can enhance explorations and experiences of the collection insitu, and how these in-situ explorations compare to remote browsing of collections, e.g., through web-based interfaces. We discuss findings from a study where potential visitors explored a museum collection using a tablet-based visualization remotely, at first, and then as part of their museum visit. Our findings show that the entry points to the collection differ in the two different contexts: while overview visualizations linked with individual artifacts triggered curiosity and promoted exploration in the remote setting, it was the individual (physical) artifacts that drove explorations of the mobile visualization in-situ. While remote explorations of the visualization can be characterized as highly open-ended, in-situ, people approached the interface in a more targeted way. These findings suggest an item-centric approach to the design of mobile visualizations that bridges the physical and digital information space to assist in-situ explorations of museums collections. | |
