Rationale

The user group that I am targeting but not exclusive to are the tourists. My design approach was to create an interactive experience that would be unique to Te papa. My concept included the Te Papa ring. It would include an RFID tag and would be made of wood, users would have an option to either return the ring to a staff member or take it home with them as a souvenir as RFID is cheap technology. The Te Papa ring would work with an exhibit information screen that would act as a RFID reader that communicates with the users phone. I wanted an organic, intimate and New Zealand feel for my concept as I felt that it is what makes Te Papa's point of difference when compared to other museums.
