Can’t Touch This: the Promise and Perils of Gestural Interaction
We’ll use this session to share our learnings about what is exciting and interesting for gesture-based interactives in museums, as well as what is partially—and deeply—problematic. We’ll share a mix of past experiences, prototypes and R&D, and new sketches and ideas built out just for this talk. The latter half of our Campfire session will be a guided discussion, giving participants a chance to share their own experiences, ask questions, and dive deeper into topics they choose.

Slides are available here! (Presentation link sadly does not have GIFs)

Learning from an Open Approach: Activating Smithsonian Open Access as a Commissioning Case Study
Cooper Hewitt’s Interaction Lab launched Activating Smithsonian Open Access (ASOA) to create new digital experiences with the Smithsonian’s Open Access dataset. Thanks to Verizon 5G Labs, we awarded seven teams with $10,000 to prototype their ideas alongside structured support from Smithsonian, Verizon and external experts.

This panel will include ASOA leaders, stakeholders, evaluators, and participants to share a comprehensive picture of what we learned and how it will affect future work.

A Journey through Transition
The presentation is about our API journey through the museum’s digital infrastructure transition. Since Cooper Hewitt debuted the API in 2012, it has been a valuable tool for its audiences. Yet in 2021, as we emerge out of the pandemic and multiple crises, the team found a redeveloped API is much needed in response to the new challenges. In collaboration with Knowledge Integration and Surface Impression, we want to share what we learned from this journey, both internally and with our audiences.

A Novel Approach: Literary Tools in Experience Design
For museum people, “storytelling” has been a buzzword for years. But beyond “everything is a story,” what can we learn from literature about how we tell stories in spaces?

In this session, we’ll share an approach to developing digital (and analog) experiences using techniques from literature to invite visitors to inhabit a story. Participants will put these tools into practice in a creative play and visioning session where we’ll all take on the role of creative storytellers.
