[Context]
The "Museum Inclusion Promotion Plan" is an initiative aimed at making museums more inclusive and accessible to a diverse range of visitors, regardless of their background, abilities, or interests. It focuses on ensuring that everyone can fully enjoy and participate in the museum experience.
It is divided into two parts:
Phase 1. Designing and establishing a chatbot to integrate crucial museum information.
Phase 2. Conducting research and providing optimization proposals for the audio guide.

Phase 2. Audio guide research report
Conducted an extensive user research study encompassing audio guide usage in prominent art venues in Taiwan and around the world
Resulted in 5 critical discoveries, 3 core design goals, and 4 innovative design solutions
Competitive product analysis
I conducted a comprehensive competitor analysis for both direct and indirect competitors. Evaluated them based on aspects such as the museum's operational focus, interactivity, visual design, and more.
Wireframe and user journey
Subsequently, I defined the primary users as art enthusiasts and art professionals, and tailored the product's key pathways and user journeys to meet their specific needs.
User interview and key frame adjustment
I also interviewed both primary customer groups to validate whether the previous user journeys align with the actual expectations of users, and made adjustments based on their feedback.
Prototype and usability test
Lastly, I developed a prototype with essential features and conducted usability tests with five users.
