TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS

Directus communication for storing visitor audio

The interactive sends visitor-produced audio and metadata to a custom endpoint in a CMS, built with Directus and hosted on the local network.

Email entry page, which visitors use to optionally share their email with the museum and/or receive a copy of their audio

On startup, the interactive also pulls its set of visitor text prompts from this CMS.
