Digital Interaction Sessions from Science Experience Centres in Bengaluru

This dataset contains non-personal, session-level interaction logs generated by digital exhibits at the Param Science Experience Centre locations in Whitefield and Jayanagar, Bengaluru. Each record captures an exhibit identifier, session start and end timestamps, session duration, number of recorded interactions, and the record creation timestamp.

About Dataset

Anonymous, session-level interaction records were generated through digital exhibits operating at PARSEC Whitefield and PARSEC Jayanagar, Bengaluru. The data captures exhibit identifiers, session start and end timestamps, session duration, and the number of recorded interface interactions. Collection was automated through the exhibit systems during regular public operation, representing real-world engagement in an informal science-learning environment. No names, contact details, demographic information, audio, video, biometric data, or persistent visitor identifiers are included. Individual visitors cannot be tracked across sessions. The records can be analysed at exhibit, location, session, and time-period levels. Interaction counts should be interpreted as system-recorded interface events and not as direct measures of learning, satisfaction, attention, or emotional response.

Purpose of Dataset

Created To Support Privacy-preserving Research Into How People Engage With Interactive Science Experiences. The Data Can Help Researchers And Institutions Study Usage Patterns, Compare Engagement Across Exhibits And Locations, Estimate Session Duration, Identify Unusual Activity, Forecast Demand, And Support Evidence-based Exhibit Planning. It May Also Be Used To Develop Models For Clustering, Classification, Anomaly Detection, Time-series Analysis, Predictive Maintenance, And Operational Monitoring. The Data Can Support Improvements In Exhibit Usability, Visitor Flow, Resource Allocation, And Digital Learning Design Without Requiring Personal Visitor Information. Findings Related To Learning Outcomes, Motivation, Age, Satisfaction, Or Emotional State Should Not Be Inferred From These Records Alone And Would Require Additional Ethically Collected Evidence.
