Remediation- have virtual experiences, pictures turn into interaction (moon walk)
Hypermediacy- have the museum set up in a way that people are reminded they are in a museum (ways to go from 'room to room')
Cyberspace- globes with light connecting parts of the world, a net that shows connections, interactive ride (you are transported with information) with you choosing the destination
Digital Narrative- a page from a book with only text telling a story, then the same story told in a few different digital formats (remediated as well)
