[MCN-L] VR headsets you don't need to strap on
Hive mind, Have any of you come across any VR headsets that *don't* need to be strapped on? We're looking at a couple of potential applications where we'd consider VR in the galleries, but know that the throughput issues and hygiene concerns around putting on a headset would get in the way. We are looking for something that could a quicker experience, more akin to a Google Cardboard, though built for use and abuse. Any leads appreciated!

We use ELO Touchmonitors ( http://www.elotouch.com/Products/LCDs/default.asp ) with Mac Minis in many exhibits. The Mac support is actually pretty good. The ELOs support the Touch Base UPDD drivers for OS X ( http://touch-base.com/documentation/MacOSXPlatformNotesV5.htm ). Using the UPDD Gestures driver ( http://touch-base.com/documentation/gestures.htm ) I've been able to get some basic muti-touch gestures to work on a Mac too. ELOs are great because they have robust glass fronts that we don't have to protect. Open frame models can be mounted in cabinets or walls, while the desktop models can be mounted out on their own. We've also used PQ Labs' multitouch overlays to turn bigger displays into multitouch devices, but my personal experience with these is only in Windows. They do say they support Macs ( http://multitouch.com/product.html ).

[MCN-L] iPad kiosk with URL restrictions
Ditto on the Kiosk Pro comment. We use it on all our iPads. It works pretty well.

You can define settings in app or as an xml file, and set it up for updates (configuration and content updates). It?s got a ton of features so navigating them all the first time might take a while but I?ve generally been happy with it. - Jonathan Dahan Media Technology Developer Metropolitan Museum of Art On Jan 22, 2014, at 4:03 PM, Tamara Georgick tgeorgick at wshs.wa.gov wrote: Greetings-- If this topic is a rehash, can someone please point me to an archive of the original question? I am looking for an app that will allow me to run an ipad (version 2 if it matters) in kiosk mode. Aside from blocking access to other apps and settings on the ipad, I need to point the browser at a searchable web site and restrict access to half a dozen or so URLs. I was looking at eCrisper kiosk, which seems to have these features. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

[MCN-L] MCN annual conference proceedings
Actually, starting in 2012, MCN has begun videotaping conference sessions. If you go to http://www.youtube.com/user/museumcn, you can watch select sessions from 2012 and all of 2013. Twitter searches of the #mcn2012 and #mcn2013 hashtags will also give you a view of what ideas conference participants found most interesting.

Unfortunately, MCN does not archive proceedings (few presenters in fact write a paper). The best you can do is look at the MCN conference site and see the program abstracts http://wired.ivvy.com/event/MCN13/agenda if a presentation looks interesting, you may want to check their SlideShare / professional page for more information. This is a great opportunity to pose the question: what are the benefits / challenges of documenting conferences? as a historian I am all for it ! second question: what are the most efficient documentation forms? idea: could MCN organizers in Dallas recruit a few bloggers?

[MCN-L] non-art museums buying DAMS?
Hi all, I'm looking for people from non-art museums who have recently bought or considered buying a DAMS. Anyone willing to share details on their experiences, both in terms of how they internally decided their requirements and what their rollout procedure looked like? Any leads appreciated.
