Interactive Museum Project Description and Plan The Interactive Museum Team Presents:

What we will talk about? Interactive Museum overview How to “help” people How it will be done What techologies will be used Milestones, deadlines Activity list Team members overview

What is Interactive Museum? Reality: –Most visitors see only a small subset of the exhibits –Younger children pull the adults away from one exhibit towards another –Typical dwell time at exhibits is approximately 30 seconds –Often visitors appeal that they didn’t hear museum guide (big group)

What is Interactive Museum? Solution –On your way in get something more then your ticket: PDA, your ID (Mica2 mote in our case) –Your ID is scanned as you go pass an exhibition Generate your personalized web page –Your PDA receives various information about exhibits you’re looking You don’t need a museum guide

Technology “helps” people! Enhance visitors' learning experience –Go home, login to your web page and learn Helps museum personnel to make better exhibitions –See what people don’t like and remove it Museum guides would have smaller groups –That way all will be happy

How will it be done? Stand-alone application –Register visitors of museum –GUI which will show us which visitor is where –Allows us to move exhibits throughout museum PDA application –Show users multimedia and other things related to exhibit

How will it be done? Central database –To store all data from exhibits All movies, pictures and text related to exhibit All visitors which visited exhibit Web application –Allow users to extend their sightseeing of museum at home See all exhibits that you visited See exhibits that you didn’t visited (IMPORTANT!!)

Technologies Interactive Museum will be build using following technologies: –.NET framework –MySQL or PostgreSQL as databases –nesC and TinyOS for communication between Mica motes –CVS server for team coding coordination
