Aim\/goals of the research: Explore the potential of \u2018Wunderkammer\u2019 (curiosity cabinet) as a powerful metaphor to design new types of learning experiences catering for an ecology of artefacts (real of virtual objects) to provide a holistic context for educators to share and extend learning in action. Conclusions: We provide insight into the emergence of smart interactive objects with different types of sensors that can potentially support everyday life and the increasing access to new visual experiences through augment reality and virtual reality, for new types of tangible knowledge building that can be personalised and shared. This reshaping of human centred design and creating new experiences through tangible creations that externalize in real time and through new materials, the creative power of the \u2018imaginations of movement\u2019 provides new user experience design thinking through the concept of powerful metaphors, to provide core design requirements where the blending of worlds is common place.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/mti2030034","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,22]],"date-time":"2018-06-22T10:56:28Z","timestamp":1529664988000},"page":"34","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Wunderkammers: Powerful Metaphors for \u2018Tangible\u2019 Experiential Knowledge Building"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Patricia","family":"Charlton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Creative Digital Solutions, Witney Lakes Resort, Oxford OX29 0SY, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2661-7749","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adamantios","family":"Koumpis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Informatics and Mathematics, Universit\u00e4t Passau, 94032 Passau, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christos","family":"Kouroupetroglou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UX4ALL, GR54645 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muriel","family":"Grenon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biochemistry, School of Natural Sciences, National University of Ireland, H91TK33 Galway, Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Charlton, P., and Poslad, S.
