From Informing to Remembering: Deploying a Ubiquitous System in an Interactive Science Museum
Overview This paper describes our experiences implementing and testing nomadic computing tools at the Exploratorium, an interactive science museum in San Francisco. This is a challenging environment because it is hands-on, boisterous, and makes navigation and visual identification difficult. Therefore, the Exploratorium user experience differs from test environments (e.g. historic houses) used in much previous research. We present a classification of possible tool functionalities. We then describe the two specific prototypes we implemented: an electronic guidebook similar to those deployed by previous research groups and a simpler "Rememberer" tool which allows users to bookmark exhibits and take pictures of their experiences at the exhibits.
