Master in The Digital Babenberger Stammbaum

Tuition fees are 727 USD per year.

Direct collaboration with the Abbey of Klosterneuburg defines this project, where students bridge the gap between historical heritage and contemporary digital interaction. By transforming the complex Babenberger family tree into a sophisticated, multitouch museum experience, participants engage in the full lifecycle of a professional media project—from user research and conceptual iterative design to the technical implementation of interactive exhibits.

This initiative is designed for students who thrive in hands-on, client-facing environments. It moves beyond theoretical study by requiring teams to synthesize vast amounts of historical data into intuitive digital interfaces. The project emphasizes:

• Iterative Prototyping: Navigating multiple concept changes to refine user experience.
• Technical Integration: Developing high-performance solutions for large-scale multitouch displays.
• Professional Synergy: Working directly with cultural institutions to meet specific exhibition requirements.

The final outcome serves not just as a digital exhibit, but as a robust prototype supported by actionable guidelines for future museum-wide implementation, offering students a tangible portfolio piece that demonstrates expertise in both information design and interactive technology.
