The goal of this project was to work with The Hönnunarsafn Íslands Museum of Design and Applied Art to design and develop an interactive VR exhibit that could showcase museum artifacts not physically on display. We researched digital interactive exhibits in other museums, identified the best practices for developing them, and surveyed the interests of museum visitors. We used this information to develop a user-friendly VR exhibit prototype. After analyzing visitor feedback and our post-interaction prototype results, we drafted recommendations for how the museum could improve and maintain the prototype we put in place.
