Museum visits can be more useful to small groups if they can be the centerpiece of a social experience as well as an educational one. One of the most rewarding aspects of a visit, especially those involving families, is the unmediated group discussion that can ensue during a shared cultural experience. However, if current methods were to be applied to stimulate such discussions, their intrusive nature would be more likely detrimental than assistive. We present a non-intrusive method based on dramatic narrative presentations and automatic group behavior perception that we believe stimulates a group to engage in conversation as a natural part of making sense of partial narratives that require some mutual integration.
