Digital Interactive at Museums – Gallery One Cleveland Museum of Art
Museums, both corporate and public, have been embracing technology to reinvigorate their exhibits by engaging visitors with incredibly immersive, interactive storytelling experiences.
The engagement level with museum visitors is drastically increased especially with the younger crowds by using the new and emerging technologies to make history, technical information, and art more approachable and relevant. Using touch screens, mobile apps as museum guides, and augmented reality allows visitors to control the experience and interact at their pace and about the information that they find interesting.
Gallery One at the Cleveland Museum of Art is a great example of a progressive museum using experiential interactive to help make information accessible and interesting. Goals of increasing attendance by creating compelling interactives that attract visitors, and by increasing the opportunity for visitors to learn about art in a non-traditional way have been exceeded.
Providing kid friendly interactive zones, where kids can use digital interactive drawing tools, video walls, and interactive touch screen games has increased family attendance and has made museums a destination that kids want to visit.
Elation Digital has been expanding into the interactive museum exhibit space and helping museums develop and implement installations to attract and engage visitors through relevant interactive experiences.
