Scenarios: Olof

Scenario 1: Rise of the planet of the apes

Today Olof will be visiting one of his favourite museums; the Army Museum in Stockholm. He has been here many times before, but always seems to learn something new, much thanks to the many different guides working there. Today there will be a guided tour about the Swedish king Carl XII. Olof grabs one of the portable chairs, a blessing to his aching back, and follows the guide through the exhibition. The tour starts off really interesting, and Olof is having a great time. But suddenly a chilling scream is piercing the atmosphere, effectively drowning the sound of the tour guide. The stuffed monkeys seems to have awaken from the crowd entering the room, and is now fighting each other in a game of who can sing the loudest. The tour guide smiles apologetically, but Olof is not amused.

Scenario 2: Let the not wrong one in

This weekend Olof has brought his wife to the army museum to indulge her in his world of the past. This is only the second time he has been here so the first thing on schedule is to find a guided tour. Olof knows that this surely will make Gunilla interested in his hobby. Walking up to the counter, the cashier tells him that “I’m sorry, there are no guided tours available today”. Something feels off, there is cool breeze flowing from behind. The goosebumps multiply like never before. She asks him if he wants to use the audio guides instead, but Olof will have none of that. Gunilla takes a pair and the “tour” begins. Here they are, separated by a layer of macguffin. He tries to talk to her, explain the things he know, share the experience - but there is no use. The tour quickly turns bitter and sour for our protagonist as he tries to enjoy himself. Deciding to find more information on his own, he turns to the interactive displays - but what a mess. The text is so tiny and his back aches from crouching down over the display. If only there was a way to experience the content in a better way.
