It explores in a most enlightening way how mobile devices and digital technology as such may be used to enhance and transform the visitor's experience of the museum.Margaret Greeves
This book makes an important and timely contribution to the field of museum studies. For museum practitioners, it provides a useful reference work on the application of digital interpretive technologies. Along with practical and technical information, there is much to stimulate thought about how such technologies encourage and empower the user. The book wisely ends on a cautionary note: to be successful in the longer term 'new museum media always need to harmonize with existing practice.'CHOICE, April 2009 - J. M. Youmans
Well written, thought-provoking, and informative...an indispensable resource for museum professionals. Essential.Educational Technology, July-August 2009 - Hillary McLean
This volume highlights the exciting potential for handheld devices and digital technologies in museums and related settings. It provides a valuable, in-depth guide to an important set of research projects that have important implications for educators, exhibit designers, museum curators, and others. This book greatly expanded my horizons. I found it compelling and highly readable.Kathryn Potts
Rather than pushing technology for technology’s sake, this book presents an intelligent and well-considered discussion of the ways technology can transform the museum experience. Editors Tallon and Walker have created a much needed overview of important research and writing from an internationally-acclaimed group of scholars, museum professionals, and learning specialists. This compendium provides a framework for understanding how digital technologies - from audioguides to multi-media tours and web-based applications – can enhance and expand the impact of a museum visit. An indispensable resource for both the museum professional and student.
