“Mobile devices in museum environments – Lessons learned in the CHESS project“

Maria Roussou, Assistant Professor in Interactive Systems at National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece, is an expert in digital services for museums. She shared her lessons learned during the project CHESS in an online session with the BalticMuseums team. Holding a Masters degree in IT and a Master degree in Fine arts (focus on digital arts), Maria has long both scientific and practioner experience with virtual reality, digital devices and storytelling methods in museum environments. She has been involved in the CHESS project with among others Acropolis in Athens, developing IT aided tours using storytelling on mobile devices (http://www.chessexperience.eu/). Furthermore, she is active in the current follow-up project, titled EMOTIVE https://www.emotiveproject.eu/

In her presentation, she speaks about the major conclusions taken from intense user research around customized storytelling using mobile devices, you will find a wealth of insights and recommendations. This is followed by a Q & A session.

Thanks a lot Maria, for sharing your insights with us!
