Interactions:

  • connectivity could be tracked cumulatively documented to present community connections to the collection;
  • cognitive impairment needs could be addressed by people being able to connect to the museum collections/space; has much more universal appeal for all visitors but they have more tools available to them.
  • chronological search: by calendar - your birthday, today, periods;
  • emotional search: a user could search by sample by geography - where you live, have visited are interested in;
