Designing embodied interactions for informal learning: Two open research challenges. Proceedings of the 8th ACM International Symposium on Pervasive Displays, 1–2. https://doi.org/10.1145/3321335.3329688https://hdl.handle.net/1805/22472Interactive installations that are controlled with gestures and body movements have been widely used in museums due to their tremendous educational potential. The design of such systems, however, remains problematic. In this paper, we reflect on two open research challenges that we observed when crafting a Kinect-based prototype installation for data exploration at a science museum: (1) making the user aware that the system is interactive; and, (2) increasing the discoverability of hand gestures and body movements.enPublisher Policyembodied interactioninformal learninghuman-data interactionConference proceedings
