Hi Gretchen,

Thanks! and glad to get to know you. However, I am a curator who doesn't do exhibitions, and neither does the Pitt Rivers Museum, really--if you haven't been here, do check out our website! My work is very much 'back of house' in the research room. I really don't feel qualified to talk about exhibitions and links with source communities, and would encourage you to contact someone at the Museum of Anthropology, UBC, or Glenbow in Calgary where they have a LOT more expertise! Happy to share emails if this interests you.

Best

Laura

This is about a revolution in museum, culture, education ...
The European Commission for ITC inclusion (Paul TIMMERS, Director) said it is a revolution and it will bring a new paradigme.

The concept is the behavioral geovector and the system is able to get informations (audio, visual...) without any manipulation, just by looking something and according my interest for what I am looking
Without any kind of suplementary equipement (rfid, wifi etc.)
Without camera
Inside as well outside
free hands, directly usable by all publics (disable or not)
And to get a reconstitution of my way, according my point of view and my preferences on my compute
Anonymously

I would be delighted to give you more info about Percipio
The system is fully operational. It has been tested in real condition for more than one years. A demo will take place in the Museum of Art et Métiers in Paris

There is a french article in wikipedia
