We have a well- established track record in the development of interactives, digital and audio-visual presentations for our wide range of visitors. Visitor research for our galleries indicates that visitors enjoy a blend of different interactive experiences and our interpretation for the new galleries will build on this experience. The key objective of the commissioned work is to create digital iinteractive exhibits which delight, entertain and inform visitors to the new galleries. The digital interactives should introduce opportunities for active learning - investigation, enquiry and problem solving - around selected subjects and themes. Visitor evaluation will be embedded into the development of the gallery interactives planned. Software contractors will be expected to schedule in time and resource for the development of prototypes (paper prototypes and/or working digital versions) so that both museum staff and end users can test content, accessibility and playability..
