CIMI [1] is pleased to present Handhelds in the Museum Landscape, a symposium on museums and the use of mobile computing devices, to be held on the 24th of June 2002.
In the first of a three-year investigation into potential usage scenarios for mobile computing in museums, CIMI's Handscape project has begun to produce a road map to understanding how mobile technologies can be used by museums to enhance the visitor's experience [2].
The Handscape Project is supported by a grant from Intel Corporation; evaluation activities are directed by the Human Computer Interaction Group at Cornell University, led by Dr. Geri Gay [3]. Three museums with diverse experiences developing and deploying hand held applications have contributed to the initial research. They are The American Museum of the Moving Image (Astoria, New York, USA), Field Museum (Chicago, Illinois, USA) and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (London, England).
The symposium, hosted by Intel at the Jones Farm Conference Center in Hillsboro, Oregon will focus on the results of the first year of research under the grant. It will also highlight applications currently in use by museums, developments in industry and and it will take a look into the future. For more information visit the symposium page [4].
A full symposium report will be presented in the next issue of Cultivate.
