Meaningfully Integrating AI into Exhibits

Wondering whether artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance your visitors’ experience at an exhibit? Learn from our projects incorporating object detection AI into microscopy exhibits to support visitors in interpreting visually rich phenomena. We’ll cover our research-through-design process to build, test, and iterate upon an exhibit with integrated AI, the tools we developed to facilitate that rapid iteration process, and the lessons we learned along the way.
