STRATEGIES FOR ADVANCING INTERACTIVE DESIGN IN MUSEUM EXHIBITS

Abstract

This study endeavors to enrich visitors' museum experiences by incorporating diverse interactive and sensory approaches, transcending the conventional media display paradigms in museums.Drawing on the emotional hierarchy framework, it delves into visitors' psychological and behavioral demands within museum exhibition spaces, categorizing them into instinctual, behavioral, and reflective dimensions. Furthermore, the paper explores the evolution of interactive design in museum contexts and its practical manifestations through illustrative case studies.From the angles of perceived experience, interactivity, and interaction modalities, this work proposes strategies to enhance interactive experiences in museums. It emphasizes that these experiences should harmoniously blend technology with visitors' needs and prior experiences, avoiding a mere technological drive. Instead, it advocates for a «from object to subject» and «from external to internal» exhibition engagement paradigm, achieved through the seamless integration of visitor, scene, and behavior via perceptual experiences. This approach fosters deeper connections and resonance between audiences and museum content.
