Academic interest

The visitor has a critical interest in the assets of the museum, and hopes to develop a complete understanding of a topic and thus feel like an expert

Accessibility

I have needs that many museums don't cater for. Are there resources to help me plan a visit? If I visit, can I experience all the assets that other visitors can?

Camera

A dedicated device for capturing images of people and the surroundings

Change visitor attitudes or beliefs

Digital resource

Dumb phone

A telephone that can receive calls and SMS messages, but is not connected to the Internet

Lack of access to technology

I don't have access to technologies like smartphones, computers or the Internet, so I get a second-rate experience

Mobile apps

The visitor can find, install and use mobile apps

Smart phone

A telephone that is connected to the Internet and GPS, and supports a range of apps that vastly extend its functionality. Importantly, it allows the users to create and share digital content

Social interaction

The museum provides an opportunity for dialogue and the company of others, which may be lacking elsewhere

Social media networks

The visitor can use social media networks to contact friends, family and acquaintances, promote their likes and dislikes, and form an understanding of their community

Stimulation

The visitor hopes to be deeply provoked by the experience and to be encouraged to reflect on their own beliefs and attitudes

Tablet

A portable computer with a touchscreen. More cumbersome than a smartphone, but offering a larger display that can possibly be shared by multiple users

Use greater proportion of assets

Websites

The visitor can find and use websites
