I think the question is premature, since I have yet to find any
truly interactive exhibits in a museum. You don't get choices, you get a
no-brainer series of commands that take you through a predetermined
sequence, or at best a question tree with few and trivial branches.
"Interactive" so far is just a buzzword for what amounts to visitor
manipulation.
