Abstract

See full text

Audio, video, text and image presentation systems allow visitors to display facilities and other public spaces to proactively select detailed information about the various items located within such facilities and spaces. Exemplary embodiments can be used in a museum exhibition to convey detailed information relating to museum artifacts. Alternatively, embodiments can be used in a convention center or retail environment to deliver information relating to products or services. Advantageously, information content delivered to the user includes high-quality audio, video and static images and, through a combination of selection functionality and bookmarking functionality, exemplary systems provide a link between the public space elements (e.g., artifacts, products, services, etc.) and additional, still more detailed information delivered off-line via another medium such as the World Wide Web (WWW) or a fixed workstation environment within the public space. Consequently, a visitor can self-guide and self-tailor his or her exploration of a display facility or other public space and/or extend his or her experience beyond the physical boundaries of the display facility or other public space.
