Date: Sept, 2001
Client: Lord Cultural Resources
Contributors: Mystus (software, graphics), Lord (housing, coordination)
Client Requirements / Visitor Experience:
This museum is housed in an old house with only stairs to the second floor. I norder to meet accesibiltiy requirements the museum decided to create 2 kiosks which contained photos, video and text of all elements on the second floor so that the same information was available to everyone. Along with this tour feature the kiosks included a photo archive and a ‘send a psotcard’ via email feature in which a picture of yourself and a message were embedded in an electronic postcard and emailed.
Mystus Expertise: Programming, graphic design
Unique Features: The kiosk allowed email postcards to be created and sent. The images in the photo gallery sat in a folder and the museum staff could just add images to the folder and they would be included without them having to contact us.
*Project Challenges: Working with the museums server to make the postcard feature work.
