some issues that come to mind from our experience are: 1. the use of audio in a museum environment (it can be an important feature of new media, but tricky to get right in this environment) 2. how to handle a "crowd" with interactive/virtual displays (they can often be an individual, or very small group, experience, which can mean it creates a "bottle neck" for flow of foot traffic) 3. my own view is that interactive displays can be extremely powerful, but they need to give you something you can't get any other way - they need to add value, so you could explore that area - what adds value? I'd be really happy to provide more, contact me off list if you have any questions...
