CHIFOO meeting: Understanding the Multi-User Experience July 9, 2008

Presented by Jen Young & Matt Arnold, Second Story

Museums and cultural institutions are increasingly required to balance visitors' expectations of interactive presentations in the museum with the institutional goal of promoting forms of social interaction that enrich the visitor experience. To meet these needs, institutions are turning to multi-user, or group, interactive scenarios.

Jen and Matt , members of the stellar Second Story Studios team, will show how understanding people’s needs and tendencies—and the learning curve for people that must be managed in multi-user experiences—can be squared with innovations offered by ever-changing technology and hardware, design obstacles and opportunities, and the desire to wow visitors while offering designs that are appropriate to the content.

If you are interested in multi-user interfaces, social media or interactive display design, please join us!
