  1. Design the space and outfit it with a series of Internet-enabled
    devices. Be specific about the devices; specify the data they gather.
    What does each device do to process, store, analyze, or transmit
    information?

  2. Next, design an interaction for a visitor to this space that takes
    advantage of emerging technology to convey meaning and engage
    visitors through experience. Script or storyboard this interaction.
