The present graduating project showcase the development of a method for relevant exhibition experiences. The specific goal of this method is to allow exhibition developers in museums, embassies and cultural institutions to identify the elements that are involved in a relevant exhibition experience. This identification is essential in cases where exhibitions are going to present elements (expressions) that are from different parts of the world, which is the project's scenario. In order to proceed with the project, a collaboration between the Peruvian Embassy in the Netherlands, the Museum Volkenkunde and the Cervantes Institute in Utrecht was established. A research process was conducted to understand the ideas of relevance, local and foreign, visitors based on motivations and cooperation between institutions. In this process, a study about immersive technologies was also conducted. The method uses two significant concepts from the research process: On one hand, Universal themes, and, on the other hand, activities' nature identification through immersive theory. A tool with similar characteristics to a tabletop game was elaborated to use the method. The tool and method were tested at different times to improve them. For the last sessions, physical and digital versions of the tool were developed. The sessions focused on the use of the method and tool with upcoming exhibitions and for conceptualising future exhibitions. These upcoming and conceptual exhibitions were proposed by the different institutions in Peru and the Netherlands. In addition, the tool was analysed by cultural managers in Peru to see the tool's capabilities as part of museum practices and cultural policies. The tool proved useful, as it was capable of adapting to the different needs, goals and concerns of each institution. The potential of using the tool not only as an exhibition method but also as a tool for the classification of cultural expressions based on topics present an interesting opportunity for cultural institutions.

The present work introduces a cyclical model which showcases the process of immersion during Immersive Technological Experiences (ITEs) such as Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality. This model is based on the identified concepts around immersion and immersive environments across 30 years. The concepts' similarities were used to organize them on a cyclical model by acknowledging the user's presence at the beginning and end of immersive experiences. The proposed model's value relies on its cyclical approach based on a user-centred perspective and having a general overview of the immersion process. The Immersive cycle can serve as a mapping tool for developers and researchers, thanks to the inclusion of guidelines that complements the model. Both of these were used in three different examples of ITEs. Furthermore, the cyclical model could be used as a tool for ideation and conceptualization during the early stages of developing immersive experiences. Nevertheless, it is recognized that this is the first step in developing this model; therefore, it still needs to be validated and improved based on tests with developers, designers and researchers in the field.@en
