Overview
Grant Description
The Museum of Science, Boston in partnership with a coalition of museums and media producers will build the foundation for museums of any size to address current topics of relevance through immersive digital experiences.
Project activities will include identifying best practices, developing standards, identifying effective interaction methods for experiences, and documenting strategies for sharing media and content between museums.
The early work of the coalition will focus on current science, technology, engineering, and mathematics content, and the long-term intent is for the project results to be of use to museums of all types as they address other current issues.
As a result, immersive digital experiences of the highest quality will be more widely available in museums across the United States.
