The ubiquitous museum service environment: Concept, design, implementation, and a case study

Abstract

Moving along with social evolvement, museums have adopted in their recent development sophisticated information technologies into various museum disciplines including collection management and registration, research, curation, exhibition and education. New technologies also facilitate other missions such as public service, ticketing, digital value-added applications and cultural creativity, while advanced digital technologies bring new excitement and visiting experience to the audience. In this research, a ubiquitous museum service environment is developed by applying the radio frequency identification, wireless network, and embedded system technologies. A case study is also conducted and verifies the effectiveness of the proposed service environment © 2011 AICIT.
