Mobile Eyetracking in Museum Exhibitions
Duration
May 2007 - December 2008
Funding
Project "Learning in Museums: The Role of Media for the Recontextualisation of Objects"
Description
The project looked at the advantages and disadvantages of mobile devices in
museums, especially the use of mobile eye tracking as methodical way for research
in museum exhibitions. A mobile eye tracking system was used in the context
of the laboratory exhibition "Nanodialogue" to determine its usefulness
for data gathering in informal settings.
