chapter, meet the inventors in their youth and discover the origins of their lifelong pursuits of electrical measurement. Written in a direct and fluent style, the book illuminates the lives of the most significant inventors in the field, including George Simon Ohm, Andre Marie Ampere, and Jean Baptiste Fourier. Keithley, a modern pioneer of instrumentation, brings you a fascinating history of electrical measurement from the ancient Greeks to the inventors of the early twentieth century. Finally, we discuss the improvements for a future iteration of the prototypes and how this kind of technology can complement the content of museum exhibitions. In relation to the authoring tool, museum staff mentioned how this project could be implemented in other halls of the museum. Our results indicate that Aventura Marina has the potential to promote visitors’ engagement with the Sea Hall exhibition as participants indicated having a positive experience, recognized that they were more interested in and less bored by the topics of the exhibition and that they were eager to play the game again.

We evaluated the high-fidelity prototype of the game and the low-fidelity prototype of the authoring tool with museum staff and potential visitors. To design Aventura Marina, we followed a user-centered design approach, based on the design thinking methodology. In this work, we present Aventura Marina, a serious video game inspired by escape room game mechanics, composed of an app and an authoring tool, which aims to promote visitors’ engagement with the new exhibition Sea Hall of the Caracol Museo de Ciencias, a Mexican museum in the northwest of Mexico. Museums have employed video games in their exhibitions to foster visitors’ participation and improve their learning process through a positive experience.
