‘Tom Tits Exp’ App

In conclusion it can be said that the app provides helpful information, is nicely illustrated and easy to use. Unfortunately it only aims for swedish speaking parents and isn’t used by as many people as we guess they’d hoped. Furthermore the usage without mobile internet is limited to orientation with the maps as extensive descriptions are only online available. This makes the app less enjoyable since you are dependent of the Internet. 

Some of the experiments that we found difficult to understand had no information text and where neither presented in the app. On this point we felt that the app failed as it could be a good complementary on the lacking information text.

Interactive screens

Interactive screens offer a new way for people to get to know the exhibitions at the same time as they are active. Especially it offers younger persons and kids, who are used to touch input systems, a funnier way to get information. However it can be hard for elderly people to use the benefits from it due to their inexperience of similar systems such as touchscreens on mobile phones. We also think it is important to develop a system where the screens don’t steal to much attention form the real exhibition. Instead it should be used as an aid to improve the overall experience. At Tom Tits we believe that they can use the benefits from screens or even make it to an exhibition of its own.

Website 

It’s a very good website where you can read about the experiments on the different floors, so that when you go there know what to expect. It doesn’t show all the experiments and the explanations of each experiment are very short. 

We think it´s very good of Tom Tits to show what they offer so that parents and other people with children can get an idea of what to expect and see if it is something for them. Therefore the website is more for those who think one step ahead or haven’t been there before. Since our study focused on when you are already there and how to get information and explanations we tried to visit the website by my phone and got disappointed. It didn’t adapt to the screen so it was hard to read and navigate. So if we wanted to know something about an experiment and didn't get satisfied with the information signs we would rather use their app.
