"Another example which may help that I've encountered, is the Warner Studios Harry Potter experience tour just outside of London. Though this is an exhibition rather than a museum, it uses audio visual techniques that can be adapted…"

I'm researching how using tablets are changing the way people engage with museum collections (via MA in Digital Heritage, University of Leicester).Essentially, I'm after some really good case…Continue

"Hi Catherine
I'm new here and came across this post because I'm about asking the same questions as you did here. Have you come by some case studies in addition to the mentioned links here?
I'd be glad to here from you since…"

"Hello Catherine,
You might want to check out the edu. program called Golddigger http://www.gold-digger.dk/index.html, offered by Skovgaard Museum in Viborg, Denmark http://www.skovgaardmuseet.dk/
It's all in Danish, of course. But…"

"So this is a complete panel-less museum! I've not yet come across this, so it's an ideal thing to check out. Really interesting to see how visitors react (and interact) when the dependency on the text panel goes. Thanks Mel, much…"

"Hi Kylee - this is really helpful. I know that Powerhouse are always at the forefront of things, and I was reading about their Waterworx app, delivered on tablets in-gallery. Great point about science museums illustrating much of the history of…"

"Hi Naomi
This is so interesting! I love the fact that you start with the virtual, animated tour and then - from taking part in the game - are directed on a physical tour of the city. The only thing is that now I'll have to go and check it out!…"

"Hi Catherine
I would suggest the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney Australia. They have integrated an app as a navigation tool for visitors. They combine a lot of different devices throughout exhibitions including, projection displays/touch screen,…"

"I would have a look at MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) in Hobart, Australia. I worked there as a gallery attendant until recently. There is not a single label or sign in the museum about any of the pieces on display. Visitors are handed an…"

"Hi Catherine,
I don't know if it's any good for your research but Amsterdam Museum is an history museum who have launched a new crossmedial exhibition called DNA. With the use of 3D-film they are bringing the historical objects to life.…"

"Hi Christina
Brilliant suggestion, thank you. I've also checked out the Imperial War Museum London's use of tablets in their Family at War exhibition ... the objective seems to be pretty similar; getting people to engage with objects on…"

"Maybe you would be interested in checking the QRATOR Project in UCL which deals with similar issues in the UCL Museums. You can also find the contact details of the people working on it.

Hope that helps!

Can iPads / tablets bring visitors closer to collections?
I'm researching how using tablets are changing the way people engage with museum collections (via MA in Digital Heritage, University of Leicester).Essentially, I'm after some really good case studies - either with museums which have long experimented with interpretive media, or those using tablets as a way into tech-enhanced learning. If your museum is currently using tablets and you'd be happy to allow me to conduct some research, could you get in touch? Or if you know of another institution…See More

Thanks so much for sending this information. I'm really pleased you mentioned it because I recently found a piece on Bunjilaka ... I found a great chapter by Andrea Witcomb ('The Materiality of Virtual Technologies') in the…"

I'm putting together a short history of including recorded first person narratives in museum exhibits, focusing on the Museum of London as a case study. I haven't yet found too much in the way of published research/commentary on this rather specific area of audio-visual. Can anyone suggest any useful sources, or case studies other than MoL? Many thanks!
