Title
Shedding Light: Integrating Bioimaging Technologies into the Design of an Interactive Museum Exhibit
Abstract
In the past decades the field of bioimaging has experienced an explosion of technologies that have revolutionized the study of the microscopic world. Through iterative prototyping and evaluation with museum visitors, we shed light on how these technologies, specifically image recognition techniques, can be incorporated into an interactive museum exhibit to help the visiting public gain insights and make sense of dynamic, live specimens as they use a research-grade microscope. Our work indicates that the technology needs to be carefully positioned as an aid to observation rather than an infallible source of expertise in order to support and sustain visitors' explorations. This paper contributes to our understanding of design considerations in integrating emerging imaging technologies and techniques into museum exhibits to enrich visitors' interactive learning experiences.
