Building Museum Application
Dear mobile-code folks,
I'm working for the Capitoline Museums, Rome, and on my advice we are planning to substitute our traditional panels with 3DCodes linking to a special .mobi website where we not only detail the objects exhibited, but explain their artistical and historic background.
We can see the following major advantages:
- no space limit (regualr panels/tags only can contain a few words or phrases)
- internationalization: english/italian/german/french version(automatically recognized by HTTP headers and chosen accordingly)
- linking up to more content in external sites (maps, *pedia)
- easy maintenance and expandibility
- double use as on-site information system and virtual museum for web visitors
I'd be more than happy to get feedback, and even a direct contact with the developers. What is needed, right now, is a *fluent* way of recognizing codes, presenting the info pages, and then - without closing the browser - recognizing the next code.
