科学中心和博物馆越来越多地致力于部署基于计算机的展览，以提高参与度，并让游客参与社会科学问题。然而，到目前为止，我们对这些形式的展览所产生的互动和交流以及它们确实促进参与的程度知之甚少。在本文中，我们研究了使用新颖的基于计算机的展品，以探索人们如何单独和与他人一起与装置及其周围互动。这些数据来自于对伦敦科学博物馆能源画廊游客行为和交流的基于视频的实地研究。本文探讨了参观者如何将他们的活动与基于计算机的展览转化为表演，以及这些表演如何创造共享体验。它揭示了这些表演如何吸引其他人成为个人使用该系统的观众，并随后维持他们对表演和展览的参与。研究的观察结果和发现被用来反思展览设计在多大程度上能够实现特定形式的共同参与或共享经验，并开发展览管理者和设计师在希望产生新颖的参与方式时可能考虑的设计敏感性。
There is a growing commitment within science centres and museums to deploy computer‐based exhibits to enhance participation and engage visitors with socio‐scientific issues. As yet, however, we have little understanding of the interaction and communication that arises with and around these forms of exhibits, and the extent to which they do indeed facilitate engagement. In this paper, we examine the use of novel computer‐based exhibits to explore how people, both alone and with others, interact with and around the installations. The data are drawn from video‐based field studies of the conduct and communication of visitors to the Energy Gallery at London’s Science Museum. The paper explores how visitors transform their activity with and around computer‐based exhibits into performances, and how such performances create shared experiences. It reveals how these performances can attract other people to become an audience to an individual’s use of the system and subsequently sustain their engagement with both the performance and the exhibit. The observations and findings of the study are used to reflect upon the extent to which the design of exhibits enables particular forms of co‐participation or shared experiences, and to develop design sensitivities that exhibition managers and designers may consider when wishing to engender novel ways of engagement and participation with and around computer‐based exhibits.
