[accessibleimage] Fwd: Ping system for User Activated Audio Beacons installed at the New York Hall

Hi,
Forwarding from Steve Landau.

Hello,

 

Touch Graphics, Inc. has just completed work on a new system for
User-Activated Audio Beacons (or Ping! for short) at the New York Hall of
Science, under funding from National Science Foundation.   This is a
cell-phone based museum audio guide system that includes optional
navigation and way-finding features that are useful for museum visitors
who are visually impaired, and others.  If you have a moment, please feel
free to log on to the system from any telephone.  The number for the
system is:  718-271-0461 (in the US; from other countries, please use
appropriate prefixes and country code). You will be able to simulate the
experience that visitors have while interacting with the system (of
course, you will not hear the attractor sounds that are playing in the
museum as you trigger them). By the way, please don't activate the beacons
in the middle of the night; you will freak out the guards!

 

We have just completed our final round of user testing, and would
appreciate any comments or suggestions for how to improve the system. 
Your observations will be valuable to us as we write our final project
report.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!
