Subject: Re: Beacon technology
Hi all,
We have iBeacon technology at the Victoria Gallery and Museum, Liverpool.
Our app is available to download on the App Store or Google Play. Visitors can borrow an iPad from reception or bring in their own device to use around the gallery and we also have one permanently stationed in one of our gallery spaces. The tour can also be fully accessed at home away from the ibeacons.
Our tour is focused on the history and architecture of the Victoria Building where our museum is housed. The ibeacons provide visitors with additional information about different areas or objects as they move around the space and the tour has been well received.
If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch!
Kind regards,
Kim

Andrew,
If relevant and of interest, we are working with Bluetooth beacons on a large open-air site, to provide geolocation for the tablets carried by our visitors which contain all of our interpretation.

Hello.
I'm just about to start a large research piece sponsored by Innovate UK on this very subject. It would be good to chat if you have time?
Andrew.

Hello everyone,
We're looking at trialling some beacons here at the National Gallery of Ireland, and I was wondering if anyone has seen it done particularly well anywhere, content-wise? We're still at a very early stage of content discussions here, but we know that we don't want to duplicate material that people can already find on our website and audio guides. Has anyone had success (or failure!) with different types of content? And for those of you who have implemented it, what has the take-up been like for the download of the app? All advice from the group gratefully received!
Apologies if this has been covered by the group recently!
Thanks,
Catherine
