Collabritique Version 2

Having studied our first prototype in the context of Museums and the Web conference, Dominic, Nic and I have been at it again. We've utilized the Microsoft Kinect in developing our second prototype. A pilot run is set for the end of this month with the possibility of continuation with the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

We've also put together a website dedicated to Collabritique. Enjoy the video of our first user testing experience.

And spread the word, Collabritique is here.

Collabritique: Museum and the Web Conference 2011

Collabritique brings people together in a museum space to create a dialogue and foster collaboration by providing the tools necessary to help them reach a mutually agreeable opinion about a piece of art.

In this way, Collabritique not only promotes interaction and fosters new discussions and critiques about art, but also highlights the inherent connections created when artworks are juxtaposed.  All this will provide a richer experience for the museum patron and a more satisfied customer for the museum.

This project was the result of collaboration between:
Dominic Prestifillippo
Nicolas Coia
Benjamin Farahmand

Museum and the Web Conference 2011

The recent Museum and the Web conference was a great opportunity to meet thinkers and doers that are passionate about technology and using it to enhance the museum experience. The projects I was involved with and demonstrated were well received. The following images and paragraphs captures the purpose of each project and its demonstration during the Museum and the Web reception.
