We began by conducting extensive research, which led us to a comprehensive Ecosystem Map
summarizing our findings.
Ecosystem map
After our research, we focused on rethink two traditional museum concepts,
1. Museum Visitors Book
Typically, this is a notebook found in many museums—uninteractive and seldom read. We
wanted to transform it into something more engaging.
2. Gift Shop
Museum gift shops are often associated with expensive souvenirs. Our goal was to create an
accessible, unique souvenirs that allows visitors to take a piece of their museum experience
with them, making it memorable and easy to carry wherever they go.
We combined these two concepts into a mobile application and a multitouch screen
experience, allowing visitors to connect with one another and create digital artifacts they
can carry with them anywhere.
Wormhole Mobile Application
The app allows visitors to collect fragments of heritage objects displayed in the museum,
which are then assembled by an algorithm to create a unique Jacard—a personalized digital
artifact that reflects their journey through the exhibition.

Wormwall: Multitouch Screen
Experience
Wormwall is a multitouch screen, aiming to create a space for “collective memory” and a
dialogue among museum visitors. This interactive wall allows visitors to combine their
Jacards—created during their museum journey—with those of others, fostering a connection
between personal experiences and the broader visitor community. Through Wormwall, users not
only reflect on their own encounters but also gain insights into the experiences of others,
enriching the shared narrative within the museum.
