Thank you for taking part in this questionnaire from the Human Computer Interaction Research Group in the Department of Computer Science at University of York. We are working with museums and cultural centres (e.g. historic church) about how new technology can be introduced into exhibits, in particular those that contain a variety of objects. By completing this questionnaire you will be entered into a prize draw for one £10 Amazon gift voucher to be awarded on August 31, 2013.
For this questionnaire, we would like you to think of your three favourite objects from any exhibit you have visited or been involved with. Preferably, these objects would be varied in their origin, type and purpose, but any objects will do for purposes of this questionnaire.
All data in this questionnaire will be treated as confidence and will only be made available to the researchers Dr. Christopher Power and Mr. Josep Lopez Font. Any results from this work will only be released in aggregate form with no data being released that can be associated with your personal information.
Thank you again for completing our questionnaire. |

In this questionnaire, we would like you to think of your three different and distinct objects. These objects should be things that could be displayed in an exhibit at a museum or another cultural space (e.g. a historic church) but need not be currently on display.
These objects should be have historical, cultural, spiritual or some other personal significance to you and they should objects about which you should know some general facts that could be shared with someone who would see the object in an exhibit or other display.
Now, assume that you are standing with someone who knows very little about your objects. We would like you to think about what you would to tell that person about your objects and answer the following questions. |
