This document discusses how museums can design digital services for mobile technology. It provides seven design principles for mobile services in museums: 1) design a service not just a product, 2) design for specific audience motivations, 3) market the benefits not just the technology, 4) decide what you want visitors to experience and make it happen, 5) develop services that improve on natural visitor behaviors, 6) do small things well, and 7) ensure the physical and mobile experiences work together. The document also outlines a nine-step process for developing mobile services and presents survey results about museum visitors' mobile technology use.

Hinweis der Redaktion
- I’m guessing a lot of you are here today because you believe that mobile might offer you opportunities to do something for your organization and you want to do it well. This presentation has been inspired by a number of conversations that I’ve had with people over the last few months all of whom share that ambition but are feeling a little, shall we say, challenged. In retrospect, perhaps our hopes were impossibly high. Mobile was going to enable us to deliver unlimited amounts of information as ever lower cost, apps would offer up new income streams. It turns out that its all a little more complicated and over this year what I have begun to hear is concern over failure - a fear that if you get it wrong there is a chance you will never get the chance to do something ‘mobile’ again. And yet we can many of us still see an opportunity. The interesting thing for me, is that if an exhibition fails – no one throws up their arms and shouts exhibitions don’t work because we know they can work. We would be able to say that the narrative hadn’t been thought through, that the labels weren’t well written or the layout didn’t work or it was a great idea, badly implemented. But we wouldn’t give up on exhibitions. When it comes to exhibitions? have enough evidence and we design principles (always evolving but still principles) that if you make the right decisions they CAN work. Mobile is the same – but somehow if it doesn’t work at the moment and do what certain people think it should the entire platform gets the blame. The good news is that we are starting to gather evidence. It’s now time to begin to master mobile as a tool and identify where to use it.
- So my aim for today is to give you some of that evidence, to think about some processes and some design principles that will help you have those conversations.
- A lot of energy goes into thinknig about content – what information we can convey to our audiences, and a lot goes into the experience design in product terms. What tends to get neglected – at least until the last moment – are all the other areas of service. These are often harder problems to resolve nto least because if you’re in the digital or interpretation department, front of house and marketing for example isnt in your control. But getting the service aspects right is crucial. Here’s an example
- The V&A offer a comprehensive free wifi service. At the moment this service is not marketed
- Is this about concerns using smartphones as guides?
- this is an interesting principle both in terms of marketing to visitors and to colleagues - one of the biggest barriers to take up accordig to the MA survey was no dedicated budget! They need to communicate it not as a digital project but as a learngi/interpretation/marketing... project
- While Non users do use some negative descriptors, the lack of descriptors used in comparison to users is far more striking
- So we can see some real opportunties here. Some caution –there is a difference between supporting and enhancing what they are doing and and barging in, trying to change what they do Results from V&A
