Everyone, Last call. We will be closing our survey on Monday. If you haven't taken it yet, you can go directly to:
http://tinyurl.com/openexhibits As of today we have 122 responses. Maybe we can break 150? If you have 5 to 10 minutes to spare we would appreciate your participation. We will share the results first with anyone who completes the survey, we will later post the results on the Open Exhibits Website: http://www.openexhibits.org Below is the message I sent out last month.... We are resubmitting a grant proposal to fund Open Exhibits, a project that will allow us to develop, test, and disseminate open source software built specifically for museum exhibits. The Open Exhibits software, templates, modules, source code, training opportunities, and prototype exhibits will be made freely available to museums. The exhibits will be built using Adobe Flash (ActionScript 3 and Flex). We are planning on building-in support for multitouch gestures and multiuser applications. We also intend to build-in support for external devices such as sensors, cameras, buttons, and unusual displays. Once again, we are seeking feedback from other museum professionals so we can tailor our project to meet the needs of the field. We have put together a survey to help us assess those needs: to gain insight into the state of computer-based interactive exhibits in a variety of museums, to gauge interest in the Open Exhibits software, and to better understand museums? technical expertise and constraints. Anyone from any type of museum or informal educational organization is encouraged to respond. Thanks for your help and participation.
