• Content analysis made it a
clear fit for the TourML
schema (stops, assets,
and connections)

updates to the project to be leveraged by
LaunchPad
• Allowed focus on Kiosk App and
Authoring interface since TAP provided

34. Takeaways
• LaunchPad uses media – in and out of the
gallery– to tell stories that engage the senses
and deepen a visitor’s relationship with the art
• Test and iterate with real audiences to build the
best solution
• Use and extend toolkits for scalability
• Working with a community of artist activates
and brings to life creativity and process
