Visitors to the Brooklyn Museum will now be able make a route inspection of exhibits. Peculiar tours will be a smartphone with Internet

Brooklyn Museum has decided to please its visitors an unusual mobile service. Your browser BklynMuse each holder of a smartphone with an Internet connection can make their own itinerary tour of the exhibition halls, noting he liked the exhibits, and encouraging them to other visitors. To do this, go to the page m.brooklynmuseum.org , choose a floor and room number (found on the plate in each room of the museum), and the image will appear on the screen exhibits. On each of them can read detailed information: general description, material, size, time and place of creation, etc. Some items can also listen to the mobile audio reports, or view videos on YouTube. Favorite artifact can «recommend» other visitors by clicking the appropriate button. You can also see what items recommended to view other visitors.

BklynMuse can use a little differently. You can make a list of interesting exhibits at home and come with him to the museum. In this case, after entering the floors and rooms of the hall pictures of items listed in the list will be displayed automatically. In BklynMuse also be able to view the lists compiled by other visitors.

The main idea of this project - to create some of the fragments of a map to help visitors move from one exhibit to another. «I hope that this will become something of a game in which the need to find the necessary items», - said the developer of this project Shelley Bernstein (Shelley Bernstein), is responsible for resolving technical issues in the museum.

Project idea BklynMuse largely echoes the popular 1980-90-s series of books for children's play Choose Your Own Adventure (in Russian language edition - «Choose your own adventure»), where readers are invited to take the place of the main hero and step by step to make decisions and choose a course of conduct in the proposed situations. Thus, the plot has always been uneven, and the denouement becomes unpredictable. The same can be said about the new tours of the Brooklyn Museum: a visitor selects the most interesting exhibits for itself, paving the route from one to another, but who knows what kind of experience will give him what he was deprived of the attention, making their «map» of travel Brooklyn «Treasure Island»?

While the project is at an early stage of implementation. Museum workers just do not know how many visitors there are smart phones and how many people will take advantage of the new service. The developers of the project will closely monitor the use of new mobile services, and in the future, may make any necessary changes.
