What I learned
Lupa was my first UX project I have ever participated in. This journey consisted of trial and error, discovering, and learning about the design process. Through this project I discovered my interest for the potential of creativity and inspiration of the child like senses of wonder. I also got my first exposure to UX research that lead to understanding the importance of listening to the users, unveiling opportunity space, and creating potential solutions.

Persona and User Journey Map
From the research we’ve done, we came up with our two primary users that represents a larger range of children that we want to cater our product to. Each of our primary users have their own individual journeys when it comes to visiting their experiences. Within their journeys, we identified some opportunity spaces that could be useful in guiding what kind of product we want to design.
Define
Create a learning experience that keeps children engaged in museums
Encourage parents to bring their children to museums as regular visits and participate with them along the exhibit
Improve the interaction between children and museum exhibitions with immersive technology
Inconsistency within the museums create confusion
Lack of interaction between visitors and museum exhibits
Savannah museums are not entirely suitable for children
Children are more likely to stay engaged when learning when done through an activity

Key Features
LUPA is a device that uses AR technology to provide further learning opportunities for children. Based on the idea of a magnifying glass, LUPA allows children to take a closer look into the history of Savannah.
Problem
Savannah History Museum lack in providing a “discovery” platform for children to interact with objects while gaining knowledge. Being able to stay curious and engaged act as a crucial role in a child’s learning experience. The disconnect between museums and a child creates a disadvantage as the setting is not being used to its maximum capacity.
Our Goal
We intend to enhance and maximize the museum experience for children by allowing them to interact with the exhibitions while also gaining knowledge. By integrating sensory activities in the museums to provide engagement in their learning experience.
