The experiences of COVID-19 have encouraged many exhibitions, including Tower Bridge, to explore new ways to provide visitor interpretation through digital media. Tower Bridge was constructed in 1894 to alleviate traffic congestion on and across the River Thames and is now a world-renowned landmark and a popular attraction. The goal of our project was to develop a pilot “bring-your-own-device” (BYOD) application in partnership with the Tower Bridge staff that explores new ways to provide interpretation through digital media. We developed the pilot through observations at several museums and an iterative process of design and testing. We recommend how Tower Bridge staff can refine the app to enhance usability and visitor engagement.
