Expanding the Child Visitor Experience – mixing realities in a contemporary sculpture park

Hall, Lynne; Flint, Tom; Mitsche, Nicole

Abstract

This research considers how the visitor experience could be enhanced through intertwining and blending the real and virtual, creating a new mixed reality that extended and added to the destination. We discuss work undertaken with Jupiter Artland, a contemporary sculpture park in Scotland. Our focus was on co-creating a mixed reality for 8-11 year olds to enhance their visitor experience.
