Storyboard: BJ in New York

At each stop, BJ can choose whether to hear a story about the piece, critique it, recreate the artwork or add it to his customized gallery. BJ records his critique and sends it to the service center. He is excited to learn that his critique will be available for other visitors to hear.

BJ also tries the morph function and downloads the “Woman with Yellow” artwork to his cell phone. He manipulates the artwork into “Woman with Red” and saves it to his personalized gallery website.

For his upcoming trip to NY, BJ plans to visit all the Museum of Art. BJ’s friend in NY reminds him to take his cell phone with him, because a new technology called “Art Smart” enables mobile phone users to explore the art museum without renting an audio guide.

While visiting the Museum of Art, BJ is excited to see a kiosk at the entrance teaching visitors how to use “Art Smart” on their cell phones. He dials “#64” to connect to the guiding center.

The phone guide welcomes BJ and gives him options of exhibitions to view. Guided tours range from 45 to 90 minutes. BJ chooses the 60-minute tour.

When BJ returns to his hotel, his “artworks” are ready for viewing anywhere he has Internet access. He sends out emails to his friends to show his new adventure with “Art Smart” in NY.

For two weeks, visitors can access their personal web gallery, hear and view what they saved, and send out the URL to family & friends.



Slide #15

Theoretical Justifications

Persuasive Strategies• Personalization – with your personal web

gallery & customized tour• Pregiving – of the free cell minutes; promise of

the website• Self-feeling Positive – offers a chance to be

creative, gives encouraging feedback• Improve self-efficacy by:

– Social Proof (People listen to me! I’m part of an art community.)

– Fun (This part is something I’m already comfortable with.) puts them in a receptive mood



Slide #16

Success!?

What does success look like for visitors?

• They go home and view/share their website

• They want to come back

• They tell others about the museum

• They think of themselves as enthusiastic museum-goers capable of enjoying, critiquing and creating artwork



Slide #17

Results of User Testing

• Avi, 27– His phone has a small display – could be a problem– “I’d definitely be more likely to recommend it [the museum].”– “I’m not a big fan of museums, but I think I’d have fun with this.”– Worries that cell number would be given to telemarketers– Wouldn’t use art manipulation tool/better for kids

• Ken, 32– Would use the product– Technology is flexible and adaptive to his schedule– Persuades him to upgrade his cellular phone– Long using hours might run out of the battery power– Cellular reception quality might be a issue for indoor usage– Worries about cell phone radiation exposure



Slide #18

Shortcomings of Design

• Not every visitor has a cell phone• Difficult to convince wireless service providers

to join the sponsorship• During weekend, the signal traffic may be too

busy for the network to run effectively• Limited accessible time for personal gallery• Reception may be fuzzy in museum• May be too complicated for average user



Slide #19

Expansion - What else is possible?

• Museum visitors’ chat room• Use phone to vote for favorite artwork• Color star system for recognizing return

visitors (shows up on website)• Allows return users to access old critiques/art• After two weeks, website displays a link to the

museum calendar• Based on Art Smart choices, phone alerts you

to museum events of particular interest to you



Slide #20

Next Steps in Design Process

• Build rapid prototype of Art Smart• User test in a museum with our target audience

(Is the phone is distracting? Other major concerns?)

• Get programmers to consider feasibility of technology

• Iterate• Focus groups with different target users• Build more technical prototype• Usability and learner studies
