Abstract

Since 1965, the museum in Jan Hus house in Constance, Germany has been devoted to the presentation of Jan Hus heritage by Czech Jan Hus Society. Jan Hus, Czech religious thinker and reformer, and Charles University scholar has been a controversial figure in the Czech and European history over the centuries.

The new exhibition, third in a sequence of art works (1965, 1980), should reflect the latest historical interpretations of Jan Hus heritage and its contexts in current society. As partners in digital media development for new museum exhibition, we will in this short paper discuss one of the pre-realization concepts of digital media implementation for the new Jan Hus museum exhibition in Constance.

We will attempt to uncover the general challenges and prerequisites of the implementation of advanced multi-touch table technology and structuring interactive media contents in the museum settings.
