Abstract

Within a route of Education Naturalistic Museum (MAUS), we configured various types of intervention and study related to new technologies and new scientific languages, depending on the objective of learning and involvement. The idea of this work was to increase and to enhance the usability of MAUS Museum through App of Augmented Reality and through Virtual Reality projections, related to natural stimuli (Plankton 3D and Tarbosaurus 3D), to a site storage of exhibits and geo-referencing of the same and all analysis and stimuli validation on the basis of new technologies and on the basis of the of the elements of interaction’s characteristics. Easy Perception Lab is a project based on Information Technology in which we validated/evaluated the activation produced by stimuli presented in 2D and 3D in MAUS museum, developed on evolutionary and neuroaesthetic hypotheses.
