Abstract

This paper presents the design and concept for an interactive museum installation, InterANTARCTICA. The museum installation is based on a gesture-driven spatially surrounded tangible user interface (TUI) platform. The TUI allows a technological exploration of environmental climate change research by developing the status of interaction in museum installation art. The aim of the museum installation is to produce a cross-media platform suited to TUI and gestural interactions. We argue that our museum installation InterANTARCTICA pursues climate change in an interactive context, thus reinventing museum installation art in an experiential multi-modal context (sight, sound, touch).

Highlights

  • InterANTARCTICA will create an innovative cross-media platform for technological exploration of climate change research by developing the status of viewer-based interaction in museum installations.II

  • INTERANTARCTICA MUSEUM COMPONENTS The museum installation InterANTARCTICA has numerous components: panoramic video; Tangible User Interface (TUI) tables; multi-user interactive sound and visualization projected onto a dome

  • InterANTARCTICA forms a part of interactive museum installation art, but is a part of the environmental art movement

Summary

INTERANTARCTICA MUSEUM COMPONENTS

The museum installation InterANTARCTICA has numerous components: panoramic video; Tangible User Interface (TUI) tables; multi-user interactive sound and visualization projected onto a dome. Entering the museum space the viewer is encircled by four data projections, in a circular constructed site. The installation environment gives the viewer a feeling surrounded by the Antarctica landscape Encircled by four panoramic screens, the viewer experiences multi-modal senses (sight, sound, touch). The viewer hears Antarctic compositions, created by other viewers in real-time audio interaction The viewer in the museum space controls and creates sound. By creating sound the viewer engages in an additional interaction by modifying a large-scale visualization. The viewer is immersed in the installation via gesture-activated sound and image
