State-of-the-Art Analysis - Alex Hoffmann

I chose a digital table for the analysis because it was one of the newest pieces of technology in the museum and comes close to what we might design.

The table was located in the arctic area. It was a large touch controlled display, showing information about the animals living in the arctic region. The Information was shown on Cards that had a picture on one side and a short text about that animal on the back. I could turn, drag and flip the cards fairly easy and the controls where quite intuitive.
A problem was the delay between an input and the reaction. Another problem was that is wasn't clear what actions you could perform. I tried out everything that i usually can do with touch controlled interfaces, but sometimes it worked, sometimes not. Buttons haven't been clearly marked so you did not know where you can push something.
But the table is good for children because they can drag around stuff and have pictures of animals. It is fun to play around and the children see what the animals look like.
The information on the back would be more for the parents to explain to them.
