Abstract(s)
A multimedia, interactive exhibition about the Second World War was opened at the Memory of Nations Institute in Pardubice in February 2022. It was designed by an interdisciplinary team from the Post Bellum NGO, Charles University's Faculty of Arts and the creative studio 3dsence. The exhibition used interactive storytelling and visitor-centred design as its main means for sharing its content (messages). This article describes the exhibition and presents a qualitative evaluation (N = 26) conducted using a hybrid approach (observation, surveys, common reflection). The results showed that a highly technological exhibition is able to engage visitors. Moreover, 9 out of 26 visitors reflected on the topic in greater depth. The applied research resulted in a set of recommendations for improvements.
V Institutu Paměti národa v Pardubicích byla v únoru 2022 otevřena nová multimediální a interaktivní expozice o 2. světové válce. Na výstavě se podílel interdisciplinární tým složený z neziskové organizace Post Bellum, Filozofické fakulty Univerzity Karlovy a technologického kreativního studia 3dsence. Při tvorbě expozice bylo využito přístupu interaktivního storytellingu a návštěvnicky orientovaného designu. Článek představuje koncept expozice a kvalitativní evaluaci výstavy s 26 respondenty, pro kterou byl zvolen smíšený přístup (pozorování, dotazníky, společná reflexe). Zjistili jsme, že výrazně technologická výstava dokáže návštěvníky zaujmout a u 9 lidí dokonce došlo k hlubší reflexi. V rámci aplikovaného výzkumu byla odhalena slabá místa a navrženy konkrétní úpravy.
