We will build upon the "look-around" experience and adjust the design so that is user friendly and engaging. We will also create a focused, interconnected subject spheres focused on local nature , plant life, and specific exhibit stories.
Users will be able to dive deep into artifact categories, discovering how different historical elements relate to one another through an intuitive, non-linear narrative flow.
We will gather and film new stories using museum archives and live demonstrations to provide a rich, narrative-driven layer to the environment. This content will focus on "deep-dive" topics, potentially incorporating XR avatars and interactive elements to give the history a human, relatable presence.
A primary technical focus will be mastering the Meta Quest 3 integration to unlock the full potential of the XR hardware we already have available. We will also implement feedback to improve the experience.
We will implement a user-friendly landing page to serve as the primary gateway for the immersive experience. We will also host direct links to the Snoqualmie Valley Historical Museum, our feedback survey, and project credits. By redirecting our existing software links back to this "Super Cool" site, we create a seamless, marketable ecosystem that allows visitors to explore the museum’s stories at their own pace.
