“…Moreover, our preliminary findings echo broader literature in the field of HCI and gamified experiences for teenagers. Our findings echo [33] arguing that it is possible to have a single gamified experience for teens spanning from 12 to17 years old, when the game contains elements that are considered novel by this teens group, such as mobile applications, gamification, 3D models and interaction through AR. Teens value the technology, and appreciate when it is included in museum experiences.…”

Memories of Carvalhal's Palace -Haunted Encounters is an Augmented Reality (AR) location-based game which involves players in uncovering the mystery behind the haunted aspects of a museum premises. The game deployed at the Natural History Museum of Funchal makes use of mobile interactive AR and gaming strategies to promote the engagement of teenage visitors (digital natives) in museum experiences. Through this game, the audience embarks in a journey through the museum spaces, collecting scientific information about selected exhibits, while interacting with their tridimensional (3D) AR models. The audience's interactions with the museum exhibits are rewarded with pieces of a map, which will guide them to a hidden location, the scientific library of the museum. There participants can finally unlock the mysteries they have been summoned to solve. The game's goal stems from the fact that digital native teenagers are identified as an audience group that is often excluded from a museum's curatorial strategies [1] and as consequence, they appears to be generally disinterested in what museums might offer [2]. In this article, we present the description and rational behind Memories of Carvalhal's Palace: Haunted Encounters mobile gaming application and then discuss the results of first empirical tests performed to evaluate the usefulness and usability of the game.

“…Interactive exhibits not only attracts and holds visitor's attention but also prompts visitors interactions which are set as more immersive [5,17,18]. They can promote physical engagement, prompt reflection and incite social collaboration in learning environments in a way that exhibit's visitors can gather and debate around the surface.…”

Representation, presentation and interaction are subjects that require to be consciously contemplated while designing information visualization systems. This paper describes the ideation and design process of The Monarch Room, an information visualization system of global migration data. Our solution was designed to allow visitors of a museum to select, browse and interact with a visual interactive representation of migration flows in a unified view. Visitors can convey their learning purposes by seamlessly combining criteria such as time scales, location, and reasons behind migration, from either manual our automatic interactions. We believe our work contributes to the design of interfaces that enable a more in-depth understanding of global human migration patterns. In this paper, we describe our first design and research efforts.
