A new way to explore the Physics Cabinet

Trabalho de Projeto de Mestrado em Património Europeu, Multimédia, e Sociedade de Informação (EUROMACHS), orientado pelo Doutor Licínio Gomes Roque e apresentado à Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Coimbra em Julho de 2015.How can we promote the autonomous visit and discovery of an already existing permanent exhibit without modifying it? The current project, “Science Museum of the University of Coimbra: a playful experience”, associates cultural heritage and technology to enrich the experience of the visitor of one of the Museum's historical collection, the Physics Cabinet. Constructed as a game, the product designed in the frame of the project leads the visitor through the two rooms and engages him/her in finding information and establishing connections between the scientific instruments on display
