You can explore the house with a 360o view while the audio guide o ers anecdotes and fragments of Anne Frank’s diary.Red Star Line Museum (Antwerp)Cooper Hewitt launched a design competition to find a technological solution to increasethe fun of a museum visit. The Pen invites visitors to learn about design by using a design tool themselves. The Pen, which looks likethe stylus commonly used with tablets, is an invitation to interact with the museum pieces. Visitors also interact with the objects through NFC tags that allow you to snag digital infor- mation with a smartphone at short range.The active element is stronger than a traditional museum app, making the experience truly participative for the visitor.Using high de nition tablets, visitors can explore and manipulate the objects that they have gathered with their Pen, discover objects related to the Cooper Hewitt collection, gather contex- tual information, learn more about the designers, design processes and materials, see and share videos and even draw their own designs.http://redstarline.be/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7zgjKcZEFg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Vbb7E2uFx8This museum is contained in the two harbor sheds that were used for medical examinations and administration for Red Star Line passengers until 1934.STORYTELLING AND CULTURAL DIFFUSION · EVA SNIJDERSSmart culture.
