Hello,
I'm not sure how many 'exhibitions' people are on this list but does anybody have any opinions on using tablets in exhibitions vs. a more traditional touchscreen?
What are the advantages/disadvantages of using 19" tablets to deliver content (text, images and video). vs. a say 32" touchscreen? I am wary of going small when it comes to accessibility (both text size and for usability) but I'm sure there must be advantages (cost?) [Talking here about fixed location tablets, not mobile].
Also, has anybody used them in your museum or seen any anywhere? I keep being told about the V&A furniture gallery but anywhere else??
Thanks,
Lyndsey
