This is an old revision of the document!


The project idea is to create a voice assistance, with the identity of an artist. In our case, we create the demo of famous Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler. That is to say, this voice assistance is not Siri, not Alexa. Instead, it is the digitalized image of Ferdinand Holder, who can answer and only answer you questions about the artist.

You can directly interact with the program by talking, as what you did normally in your daily life. You can ask it all kinds of question about Ferdinand Holder, eg:

When did you start painting? Can you show me some of your paintings? Where can I find the exhibition about your artworks?

By talking to the digital image of the artist directly, we aim to bring the art closer to normal people's daily life, in a direct, intuitive and interesting way.

As you know, in the museum, audiences need to keep quiet, which is not so friendly to children. Also, for people with special needs, like the visually dispaired, and people without professional knowledge about the art, it is not easy for them to enjoy the visit to a museum. To make the art accessible to more people, a voice assistance can help with solving those barriers.
