The Museum of the Future is envisioned as a place that people can use and enjoy regardless of their abilities. Many museums today are primarily visual, which means there is limited content that people without vision can fully experience. I aim to create a museum that is more interactive and touch-based. I am also convinced that visitors with vision can access information in a more engaging way in this type of museum. To address this challenge, my approach for this project was to develop an Arduino-based prototype with custom-made touch sensors. The object responds by playing an audio file when it is touched at a specific spot, indicated by a haptic marker similar to a Braille dot.
