Description

Co-Census is interactive museum software that collects visitor identity and life-context data and uses it to personalize visualizations and support dialogue among visitors.

Components

  • Co-Census interactive design capturing visitor identity data to spark dialogue: Co-Census is software used as part of an interactive museum design; it "captures data about visitors' identities and some aspects of their lives (family and work), based on a few questions." The design idea is "that the personalized data should spark more interest and increase the quality of the dialogues that are performed during the museum visit." It lets participants control visualizations produced by their bodily movements and interact with other participants. (Ludvigsen et al. (2017))

Claims

  • Free-choice learning environment design — Co-Census personalises a museum exhibit from visitors' own data to draw them into dialogue, a free-choice setting
  • Interaction geography — the movement-and-talk analysis presented with Co-Census in the same CSCL editorial, for studying visitors in museum settings
