Ayala Museum Interactive Wall
The interactive collection wall is a large-scale interactive multi-LCD-screen, multitouch wall that helps museum visitors explore the breadth of Ayala’s collection, discover connections between artifacts, documents, dioramas, music pieces, etc., and save artifacts via the existing Ayala App. The interactive wall represents hundreds of artifacts and artworks currently in Ayala’s database. Hand curated and metadata-based visualizations can be viewed on the wall, and visitors can select any one of the images displayed across the wall at any time.

“The Interactive art wall represents the breadth of the museums’ collections. Hundreds of curated artifacts are displayed across the art wall, repeated throughout a grid to insure accessibility for adults and children. Once the visitor touches an artifact, it ripples out, creating a wave through all surrounding images. As a result the artifact scales up while its waves reveal related groupings to the artifact via specific tags set in the CMS. The relationship tags may range from color, shape, and medium to themed topics such as “Vanity” or “Warriors”.

“Once an artifact is chosen, it expands within the “Placemat”, a personal interactive area that covers the LCD screen directly in front of the visitor. It serves as the ‘deep-dive’ exploration into the artifact’s history, geographic location, related objects and rich history.”
