Spotted: Lobby and Galleries inside the Fort Wayne Museum of Art
Scan Result: Each QR code generated a unique result. The lobby sign generated a video and text of the museum’s history. Others gave you additional info on the exhibits and museum.
Review: It might not be what you’d expect at an art museum, however, I think it’s an excellent use of the technology. Whether patrons enjoy the additional content in the museum or spend time with the information after they’ve left, it seems like a good win for both the patron and the museum.
Yet another example of how the application of the solution dictates the validity of its use. I think it is a wonderful addition. I recall paying extra while at COSI in Columbus Ohio for a Star Wars exhibit just to have a PDA with audio and video content that I could only have while there. I certainly would have liked the option of using my own device and being able to enjoy it later as well.
