“…Personalization systems emphasize on tailoring a service or a product in order to accommodate particular individual preferences; presently, many museums and cultural institutions adopt personalization systems in order to offer custom-fit guidance and thus improve visitors' experiences. The work in [13] proposes a multimedia information system that is able to support multiple display devices, is built on top of an application server hosting plentiful digital content, and is presented to visitors in respect to their particular requirements. In [14], the authors demonstrate Future Worlds, a knowledgable game-based environment for cooperative feasibility investigations in science museums that is able to dynamically identify and adjust visitors' specific preferences while touring in the exhibition.…”

“…CI may also be used in a disruptive fashion, aiming to change the way we understand and experience our cultural heritage [2], by enabling us, for example, to create personalized museum experiences [3,4], to discover facets and stories from new or existing cultural heritage data [5][6][7], or to create inter-linked cultural data repositories [8][9][10][11]. While performing these tasks, CI are creating an avalanche of data, produced by a vast number of related activities such as profiling of or feedback from museum and cultural venue visitors [12][13][14][15], social media activity (e.g., posts and comments) related to cultural events [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23], papers and specialized conferences on the topic [24][25][26][27], and raw data on cultural objects such as artifact descriptions [28][29][30][31]. This data is typically fragmented and distributed among the different stakeholders, while the data management solutions that are involved vary greatly, ranging from simple spreadsheet files for the less tech savvy to typical data stores such as relational databases [32][33][34] or semantically richer knowledge bases [9,10,35,36].…”

Advancements in cultural informatics have significantly influenced the way we perceive, analyze, communicate and understand culture. New data sources, such as social media, digitized cultural content, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, have allowed us to enrich and customize the cultural experience, but at the same time have created an avalanche of new data that needs to be stored and appropriately managed in order to be of value. Although data management plays a central role in driving forward the cultural heritage domain, the solutions applied so far are fragmented, physically distributed, require specialized IT knowledge to deploy, and entail significant IT experience to operate even for trivial tasks. In this work, we present Hydria, an online data lake that allows users without any IT background to harvest, store, organize, analyze and share heterogeneous, multi-faceted cultural heritage data. Hydria provides a zero-administration, zero-cost, integrated framework that enables researchers, museum curators and other stakeholders within the cultural heritage domain to easily (i) deploy data acquisition services (like social media scrapers, focused web crawlers, dataset imports, questionnaire forms), (ii) design and manage versatile customizable data stores, (iii) share whole datasets or horizontal/vertical data shards with other stakeholders, (iv) search, filter and analyze data via an expressive yet simple-to-use graphical query engine and visualization tools, and (v) perform user management and access control operations on the stored data. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first solution in the literature that focuses on collecting, managing, analyzing, and sharing diverse, multi-faceted data in the cultural heritage domain and targets users without an IT background.

“…Locative media and the use of mobile devices to enhance and enrich museum visits have been extensively studied [5,12,26,30,36,38,39,52]. On the other hand, museums are promising settings for gamification [47]: mystery and treasure-hunting [11,21] as well as problem solving tasks [4,18,44,47,56] have the potential to engage and entertain.…”

Teenagers' engagement in museums is much talked about but little research has been done to understand their behavior and inform design. Findings from co-design sessions with teenagers suggested they value games and stories when thinking about enjoyable museum tours. Informed by these findings and working with a natural history museum, we designed: a story-based tour (Turning Point) and a game-based tour (Haunted Encounters), informed by similar content. The two strategies were evaluated with 78 teenagers (15-19 years old) visiting the museum as part of an educational school trip. We assessed teenagers' personality in class; qualitative and quantitative data on their engagement, experience, and usability of the apps were collected at the museum. The triangulation of quantitative and qualitative data show personality traits mapping into different behaviors. We offer implications for the design of museum apps targeted to teenagers, a group known as difficult to reach.

Abstract. The goal of the project was to design an integrated system for the California Academy of Sciences that combined new technology with a socialnetworking based website to promote educational learning. Five mini-games were developed for the iPad and connected to a series of websites through a database. The use of new technology drew in users that would not have otherwise engaged in the experience. Connecting with a social-networking website opens up many future possible implications for expanding edutainment.
