Abstract

Interactive tabletops show great potential to be used in learning contexts, particularly in museums, as a way for people to collaboratively learn and explore rich sets of digital information. However, it is a real challenge for exhibition designers, or Curators, to create exhibitions for tabletop displays, as it is tedious to create these data-sets manually. Curator is a cross-platform tool that can be used by non-technical designers and museum staff to construct rich information collections for exploration on our interactive tabletop. After the data-set has been constructed using Curator on a desktop computer, this information can be tested and displayed on the tabletop immediately, providing an engaging, collaborative experience for exploration and learning.
