Museums

Blimey - another month gone!

After all the running around with the Royal Institution demo I've been able to get back to some real work this month but again I'm going to put forward one of our own applications as my interesting solution of the month - even if its only because its in a good cause.

We've done a few implementations for visitor interaction in museums but one that has recently been installed has a particulalry important application.

The Museum voor Communicatie's new RFID enabled exhibition opened in December. As part of this they implemented a system that collected up visitor's information as they went around the exhibitis and present it back to them in a demonstration of how easy it is for someone to steal identity details on line. There's more about it on the press release on our web site but I think that this is a great idea that will help kids learn about the realities of the on-line world, great opportunities but some risks as well.
