Fun Theory

So in relation to our project, I think we could make going to the museum more fun if we integrated a QR scanning system into it.  We could create a program where people could have avatars that directly interacted with the different portraits on display in a digital sense.  As a potential example, QR codes could be set-up next to each of the paintings within the museum.  As users explored the museum they could scan the various QR codes to get them to appear on your device then they could explore the painting with their avatar and it could interact with portions of the painting.  For example, with the war painting we had to work with, the avatar could freak out when it approached the skeleton, or give a blanket to the people lying down.  In the window view painting it could look at the photographs, perhaps as a receptionist at the desk who the people in the photos were.

The avatars could be customizable too and you could earn points to buy accessories for them by scanning the QR codes of various displays at the museum.  Within each of the paintings there could be a trivia section were you could answer questions for the chance to earn more points or exclusive accessory prizes.  Maybe they could even mix and match content from various paintings they explore to make their own custom art display to share with their friends.   They could even get their friends together and explore paintings with their avatars together.  They could interact with each other while inside a painting as well as the environment they were in.
