Interactive
Enhancing the visitor experience with RFID
interactive guides
Momedia and Glasgow Caledonian University have launched
a joint project to develop a ground breaking PDA RFID system to provide
rich multimedia content to exhibition and museum visitors. As the hand-held
player is brought close to the exhibit, the RFID tag triggers associated
multimedia content. The content which is updated using a standard web
server can provide audio, video, still images and text in multiple languages.
RFID - Radio Frequency Identification
PDA - Personnel Digital Assistant
At the moment the user expereience is often limited
to reading exhibition labels mounted on nearby walls or walking around
with audio guides. It is sometimes difficult for visitors to find out
more about a specific exhibit and many audio guides can only be played
in a linear fashion. By offering visitors an interactive guide, curators
around the World can provide rich media - that adapts to users as they
walk around an exhibit.
The PDA RFID solution offers a multimedia labelling
system for exhibition curators - allowing different groups to find information
on exhibits which is best suited to their interests. Rather than trying
to make one label suit all groups.
Galleries and museum can make static exhibits more
appealing to younger audiences by providing a more interactive experience
around displays.
RFID interactive guides provide a key strategic enhancement
to the gallery or museum visitor experience.
