About this Event
Description
Prototyping allows museums to create content that is authentic and relevant by inviting visitors into the design process. Whether it’s a digital application, interpretive exhibition, or educational program, prototyping and evaluation help close the gap between our assumptions and visitors’ reality. Learn how the Shedd Aquarium tested exhibition prototypes with visitors, user experts, and staff. Find out how this process provided valuable information that overturned assumptions and led to stronger solutions.
