DESCRIPTION
The adoption of Google Glass within museums is in its infancy. How can it facilitate visitor engagement? What are the limitations? What are the opportunities? In a partnership sponsored by the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program at the MIT, the MIT Museum collaborated with a Media Lab student to realize and test a Glassware prototype. Both the design issues and the visitor feedback offer the opportunity to reflect on the design of a new kind of museum experience. http://marcomason.mit.edu/speaking/ukmw14-museums-beyond-the-web http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/2014/08/12/ukmw14-programme/ @marcomason
