We are building a storytelling tool to enable museum staff to design and execute virtual museum experiences for their guests. These live virtual experiences will be conducted through a digital platform, such as Zoom, and enhanced by our Web-based tool.

Museum.Live is an interdisciplinary team of 5 Graduate students from CMU Entertainment Technology Center. We’re developing this tool based on the prior research of a summer preproduction team. Through iteration and development with Museum staff, we plan to make our web-based tool:

• Be simple and easy for museum staff to navigate.
• Support diverse, accessible experiences.
• Enable conversation between tour host and guest.

By the end of this project, we will deliver a functional prototype of our tool to each our 5 partners.
