Partners in (Solving) Crime: Promoting Sociality through Play in Hybrid Museum Visits
Article No.: 44, Pages 1 - 4
Abstract
A social approach for remote visits is hybrid visits, where a remote visitor joins a visitor physically present in the museum, allowing simultaneous engagement with its content and collection. Hybrid visits remain relevant post-pandemic, as health or distance may still limit museum access. In this work, we aim to harness the power of cooperative games in the context of a hybrid visit by designing a game-based experience for a museum to enhance sociality and engagement with its collection. We present preliminary evaluation outcomes on how asymmetry may promote sociality and engagement in tandem with informal learning and we conclude with the design implications that will inform the following iterations of our game prototype.
