The document discusses wayfinding principles, methods, and tools. It outlines a course that will teach students about wayfinding in various settings like museums, websites, and zoos. Students will learn about navigation structures and propose solutions to societal problems using maps and digital media designs. The calendar lists upcoming topics like eye tracking theory, smartphone apps, and wayfinding as a profession.

1. XW

2. 1. The new millennium has ushered the simple word of "wayfinding"
from old language (signage) into exciting new territories (literally),
such as smart cities, sensor networks, volunteered geography, GPS,
and Google Earth (to name a few).
2. You will get skilled with principles, methods, and new tools that help
people find their way through a wide range and level of settings, e.g.,
museum paintings, websites, zoos (and other edutainment landscapes), and various information-environments (of interest to you).
3. You will read about, research, and propose various navigation
structures to address (or redress) societal problems via maps or
other experience-design narratives using artistic maps, Google Earth
Pro, Google Tour Builder, and/or your preferred digital media.

11. Eye glance theory and methods – cont’d
The top image is the original painting
like on the previous page.
The lower image is all of my
classmates’ results. Where their eye
went.
From this we can see, that a lot of
people’s eyes went to certain ‘hot
spots’.
Like the people in the image or
anywhere there was something going
on or bright/dark spots in the painting.

Hypothesis: An hypothesis was made in MCAD's Experience Frameworks class that behavior of
engaged visitors at a zoo (as measured by mean length of visitors' observation period) will
correlate positively with an animal's mean height. Stated another way, the taller an animal the
longer a zoo visitor will stay to watch.
