Artificial intelligence may significantly contribute to the design of user-centred, sustainable and accessible museum environments. Still, studies have ignored the sensory dimensions of artificial intelligence-based museum exhibitions. The dramatic increase in artificial intelligence-based tools and the influence on museum design in Istanbul motivated us to examine museum exhibitions' sensory opportunities focusing on people with disabilities.
We followed the questions of how people with disabilities experience and identify the sensory characteristics of museums through artificial intelligence. We use a humanistic, mobile and creative approach based on 'sensewalking' to examine the sensory dimensions of museum exhibitions. In three museum environments in Besiktas, Istanbul, artificial intelligence-based exhibition tools are investigated. The sensewalking technique helps us understand how people with disabilities sense the museum environments with their bodies and visual, auditory, olfactory, and haptic museum-visiting experiences.
We see artificial intelligence-based tools in the exhibitions change visual-haptic experiences, and complex spatial usage of the interfaces makes it challenging to perceive the olfactory characteristics of the museums. Artificial intelligence allows people with disabilities to personalise their museum experiences. By artificial intelligence-based tools, people with disabilities customise their individual-identified auditory experiences. Artificial intelligence applications may optimise the multi-sensory features of the museum exhibition's theme. The study's detections help promote the multi-sensory dimensions of the museum environments by addressing people with disabilities in design, research, and practice.
