"New digital technology is emerging that is changing the visitor experience in museums and galleries. However, is this new technology actually creating barriers between visitors and the museum?We want to explore low cost methods of bridging the gap between the physical space of the museum and its exhibits, and the digital realm. Our proposal is to create physical objects and 'stations' that visitors can interact with. Using NFC chips embedded in 3D printed models the objects can trigger digital content on phones or fixed screens.The NFC chips are low cost devices that don't require power. They can be embedded into objects by pausing the printing process halfway through, inserting the NFC chip and then continuing with the printing process. By bringing the NFC chip close to an NFC reader (which could be a dedicated unit, or a smartphone) we can use information on the NFC chip to trigger content.This project will explore scenarios that use this mechanism. Imagine a treasure hunt in which you are searching for actual objects that can be used to unlock clues, or a model of character that you carry around the museum with you to reveal content from that character's perspective. Perhaps a mockup archaeological dig, in which by selecting a particular spade you will reveal hidden treasures from an associated time period. These are just a few of the ideas that we want to explore, and bring to life during this project."

新的数字技术正在出现，它正在改变博物馆和画廊的参观者体验。然而，这种新技术是否真的在参观者和博物馆之间制造了障碍？我们希望探索低成本的方法来弥合博物馆与展品的物理空间和数字领域之间的差距。我们的建议是创建实物和‘站’，游客可以与之互动。使用嵌入3D打印模型的NFC芯片，这些设备可以在手机或固定屏幕上触发数字内容。NFC芯片是不需要电力的低成本设备。通过中途暂停打印过程，插入NFC芯片，然后继续打印过程，可以将它们嵌入到对象中。通过将NFC芯片靠近NFC阅读器(可以是专用设备，也可以是智能手机)，我们可以使用NFC芯片上的信息来触发内容。本项目将探索使用这种机制的场景。想象一下，在一场寻宝游戏中，你正在寻找可以用来解锁线索的实际物品，或者你携带在博物馆周围的人物模型，以从这个人物的角度揭示内容。也许是一个模拟的考古挖掘，在这个挖掘中，通过选择一个特定的铁锹，你将揭示出相关时期隐藏的宝藏。这些只是我们想要探索的想法中的一小部分，并在这个项目中变得生动起来。
