Abstract:
Interaction aesthetics is a substantial part of the design process of products and devices, especially those related to enhance the accessibility of heritage. This paper offers a perspective on the breadth of the concept interactivity through an extensive literature review and analysis of some of the areas closely linked to the concept: the wayfinding experiences, the visual and tactile perception of devices and the computers’ user interfaces. All these will help to evaluate the efficiency of existing products, in order to outline some directions that allow designers to develop new devices that make information and cultural content accessible to all users. We analyzed the most common devices used in cultural heritage sites, based on various parameters relating to the level of interactivity. The main results show that most devices are dynamic and designed to facilitate mobility, but they are not interactive. Therefore, designers must continue their work in this direction.
