IoT and Engagement in the Ubiquitous Museum.

ABSTRACT: In increasingly hyper-connected societies, where individuals rely on short and fast online communications to consume information, museums face a significant survival challenge. Collaborations between scientists and museums suggest that the use of the technological framework known as Internet of Things (IoT) will be a key player in tackling this challenge. IoT can be used to gather and analyse visitor generated data, leading to data-driven insights that can fuel novel, adaptive and engaging museum experiences. We used an IoT implementation-a sensor network installed in the physical space of a museum-to look at how single visitors chose to enter and spend time in the different rooms of a curated exhibition.
