Abstract

Accessibility gains importance and is becoming a central component on the agenda of cultural and heritage sites, such as museums, especially since the ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. A range of innovative technologies are being designed to facilitate accessibility for museum visitors. These new technologies have the potential to transform museum experiences for people with mobility disabilities. The presented work is a work in progress, which demonstrates an innovative technique for designing adaptive museum displays. We present our idea in the context of the two types of display cases: free-standing and wall-hung.
