Digital-empirical Description: Comparative analysis of the empirical and digital observation of the same artifact (Sarcophagus of the Spouses) Research Question: study of the visual/sensorial impact of real vs digital object. Can we see the same level of engagement, visual focus, attention? Methods: Visual Thinking Strategies, Eye Tracking, EEG
Artefact’s visual narrative Description: observation of a complex iconography (ex. Attic crater, Greek myths or similar) Research Question: Methods:Visual Thinking Strategies, Eye Tracking, EEG
Display in-out Description: observation of an artifact inside and outside a museum display Research Question: Methods:Visual Thinking Strategies, Eye Tracking, EEG
Objects’ recontextualization Description: observation of a cluster/series of artifact inside and outside the original museum display Research Question: how we perceive differently artifacts in relation to space, light, location, etc.; for example in a reconstruction (funerary or ritual deposit) and in an artificial space (the display) Methods: Visual Thinking Strategies, Eye Tracking, EEG
Visitor’s categories Description: observation of series of museum artifacts (or example in a gallery) following a specific path. The visitors are classified in different categories with preliminary interview before the test (for example with or without a specific museum background) Research Question: how different categories of visitors act in the observation of the same collection of artifacts. Methods: Visual Thinking Strategies, Eye Tracking, EEG
