Hi,
A colleague wants to develop a virtual tour of one of the upstairs of one
of our less physically accessible museums (Aston Hall). They are beginning
the process of commissioning the virtual 'tour' of Aston Hall with the main
aim that it will provide people who can't get up the stairs with another
way to access the rooms/objects.. They are currently preparing a brief for
designers.
I would be grateful if any of you have any useful advice re: what to ask
for, what to avoid, good or bad experiences of similar projects.
In particular, I wonder whether it the tour should try and replicate the
experience of walking around the upstairs or work in quite a different way?
I feel it should add something to the visiting experience for users who can
go upstairs too.
I have tried to look at some virtual museum tours and found that many
require Quicktime which my super-secure council pc will not let me install
(I have Windows Media Player). I guess this is not such an issue for the
general public, but it would be good to have advice as to whether a tour
can be created to run an all standard software or is this unlikely?
In addition, I feel it should run and be available online rather than on a
CD on an independent pc, any thoughts/comments on this?
Thank you,
Rachel
