In this podcast, Chris & Ted walk us through their developments of iPod Touch tours for their museums: from wireless networks, to interfaces, to back-end content management and signage in the galleries. Even better, they’re making their code and wireframes available to all through the Museums to Go opensource project on the MuseumMobile wiki, and are happy to answer any further questions you might have about doing it in-house and what help museums can still use from vendors in the field.

Apple makes it look so easy - and it is, if you're as brilliant, creative and resourceful as Chris Alexander (http://wiki.museummobile.info/museums-to-go/projects/san-jose-museum-of-art) from San Jose Museum of Art (http://www.sjmusart.org/) and Ted Forbes (http://wiki.museummobile.info/museums-to-go/projects/dallas-museum-of-art) of Dallas Museum of Art (http://dallasmuseumofart.org/index.htm). In this podcast, (http://museummobile.info/archives/category/podcasts/feed) Chris & Ted walk us through their developments of iPod Touch tours for their museums: from wireless networks, to interfaces, to back-end content management and signage in the galleries.

Nancy Proctor no Opensource Mobile Projects on the MuseumMobile Wiki http://museummobile.info/archives/208 http://museummobile.info/archives/208#comments Thu, 14 May 2009 01:25:37 +0000 nancyproctor http://museummobile.info/?p=208 We seem to have reached a tipping point in opensource development for mobile platforms: at Museums & the Web in April, a spontaneous gathering over lunch of more than 10 museums working on mobile projects resulted in the MuseumMobile Wiki to house the collaborative project pages. Since then the Dallas Museum of Art has already developed a prototype mobile web-based solution, which Ted Forbes demonstrates in a wonderful little video available both on the wiki and in the MuseumMobile podcast.

Compare it to Chris Alexander‘s solution for the San Jose Museum of Art. I’m interviewing Chris & Ted on Sunday May 17, 2009 – you’re welcome to post your questions for them here!

Join the opensource ‘Museums to Go’ collaboration on the wiki, and check out our ‘parent’ wiki as well with a wealth of resources collected around the 2008 Tate Handheld Conference. Both museums and vendors are contributing their best practices, solutions and code to the community with the aim of improving access and interpretation to collections around the world.
