During my first year in MFADT, my interests mainly focused on interaction design, including screen based user experience design, tangible interaction, museum-related experience, etc. Among all these fields, I feel myself devoted to interactive experience in museums by means of storytelling and immersive technology. Therefore, I’d love to take museum related experience as the center of my domain map.

Domain Map Brainstorming

Then I also explored other thrilling domains around museum. I’m particularly interested in immersive experience and interaction design, which could be applied to museums as well.

Considering my own strengths and interests, I could see natural history, biology and epidemics as potential contents in my imaginary “museum”. I also really dived into topics about education, tangibility & accessibility, as well as entertaining experience. All of them could be related to museums.

For the next step, I’m going to think more about my goal as a designer, my target audience and design questions I want to address/explore in this thesis project, as well as more research on how current museums are using new technologies.
