The Voyage is a collaborative project between Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center and the Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History in Pittsburgh. It seeks to explore new ways for museum-goers to create connections between exhibits through mobile devices. The process of uncovering these connections will allow for an interactive journey to take place throughout the facility. The platform will share these discoveries amongst other guests, creating an experience that is dynamic and is able to present the museum in a new light each time one visits. By defying the notion of a museum as a static establishment and redefining it as a dynamic experience, it is our hope that we can infuse a new layer of interdisciplinary, experiential learning into the museums.
