All roads lead to Como
The Cross Cultural Como project highlights Como's global connections,
especially through its silk industry, and deepens understanding of the
city's cultural roots. It encourages visitors to independently explore
the museum's heritage, uncovering Como’s influence on and exchanges
with the world, fostering a sense of discovery and appreciation for
its global significance.
The project features an app and an interactive horizontal panel
located at the museum entrance. Through the app’s map, users can track
the next objects to be unlocked as they explore the museum. By
scanning these objects with their phone’s camera, they unlock the
stories behind how each piece arrived in Como. Once unlocked, users
can revisit these stories anytime within the app.
On the other hand, the horizontal panel at the entrance of the museum
allows users to connect various parts of the world to Como, exploring
how they have shaped the city's history through engaging stories and
visuals.
Interaction to engage
This interactive experience enhances the museum visit by providing
users with deeper insights into the historical and cultural context of
the objects on display, addressing the current challenge of making
these connections clear. Through Cross Cultural Como, users are
actively engaged and can better understand how Como's history is
intertwined with the rest of the world.
Both in the app and on the horizontal screen, users are guided by
Spun, a digital museum guide. By selecting a country they’re
interested in, Spun generates relevant stories and multimedia content,
highlighting its historical connection to Como. Additionally, Spun
quantifies the strength of each country's connection to the city,
encouraging users to explore, compare, and interact with these global
ties.
