Develop a mid-fidelity prototype of an Interactive Multi-sensory System.
Experimental designs are able to offer a great amount of insight that would be otherwise almost impossible to obtain with such precision. It may not always be a walk in the park to plan and execute, yet it proves to be satisfactory once completed, and specifically useful in the determination of the next design choices.

A Multi-sensory Interactive System to enhance art’s emotional responses was developed in order to study the correlation between art, senses and emotions in the museum environment. In particular, the research intended to focus on whether it is possible for a multi-sensorial artifact to enhance the effects of modern art-related emotions.
This research stemmed from the idea that multi-sensory integration in the museum environment is an open field of investigation capable of providing ample margins of innovation. In today’s technological society, it is important to provide new ways to view modern artwork in a participated and engaging method in order to better comprehend art’s emotional value.
Through the use of multi-sensory integration and affective haptics, Enhantion was designed. The artifact employs vibration motors, a potentiometer, an Intertial Measurement Unit (IMU), a Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR), a Teensy and a Raspberry Pi to let users paint their way through the discovery of modern artworks.
