16. A New Brand of Museum Tour
• Visitors can take a tour
depending on their interests,
available time, or age of
group.
• Tours consist of a list of
exhibits and their locations.
• The tour takes the visitor from
where they are to the next
closest exhibit.
• When the visitor is near the
exhibit, additional content can
be provided.
16

17. Hunting for Digital Treasure
• A fun game where visitors are
presented with clues to help
them find exhibits on the
treasure hunt.
• The application directs the
visitor to the exhibit hall
where the item is located.
• Points are accumulated and
“experience” levels are
awarded.
• This engages the visitors in
education and encourages
repeat visits.
