The Electronic Guidebook: Extending Museum Experience Using Networked Handheld Computers

[901985semper]探索博物馆将开发“电子指南：利用联网掌上电脑扩展博物馆体验”。通过这个项目，探索馆和康科德联盟将研究如何使用新技术来提高科学博物馆参观者的学习体验。随着便携式个人计算设备的日益普及，科学博物馆有机会开发新的方式，让参观者体验和与展品互动。合作伙伴将为游客设计一个以博物馆为基础的“电子导游手册”。25个探索馆的展品将通过红外线连接到博物馆网络和手持便携式电脑上。这个项目的目标受众是普通大众（成人和家庭）和K-12岁的儿童。主要的学科重点是物理学，其次是数学。

9901985SEMPERThe Exploratorium will develop "The Electronic Guidebook: Extending Museum Experience Using Networked Handheld Computers." Through this project, the Exploratorium and the Concord Consortium will investigate the use of new technologies to enhance the learning experience of science museum visitors. The exponentially increasing availability of portable personal computing devices provides an opportunity for science museums to develop new ways for visitors to experiment and interact with exhibits. The partners will design and prototype a museum-based "Electronic Guidebook" for visitors. Twenty-five Exploratorium exhibits will be connected to a museum network and handheld portable computers through infrared connections. The target audiences for this project are the general public (adults and families) and children in the K-12 age range. The primary disciplinary focus is physics, with a secondary focus on mathematics.
