Hi Scott
The V & A British Galleries used a system where you could design a coat
of arms and sent it to your email address at home to save and print it.
It was successful when I tried it!

Subject: Urgent Enquiry from Museum of Transport, Glasgow
Hi,
My name is Scott Coyne. I am one of the ICT Curators developing the new
interactives to accompany the displays for the new Riverside Museum of
Transport, due to open to the public in 2011. I've just very recently
joined
the group and I'm hoping for some advice.
We are currently developing all of the interactive and IT elements in
relation to
our exhibits.
I wanted to enquire as to whether anyone on the group has had any
expereince with interactives which require visitors to input there email
address
in order to receive a finished product?
We are currently developing our Photographers Studio display. This
takes the
form of a walk in Photographers Studio/Shop where visitors will be
allowed to
have there Photograph taken by following the simple visitor interfaces
and
interacting with an 'animated' photographer who will appear onscreen and
give
guidance. It is intended to help visitors gain a deeper understanding
of what
was involved in early 20th Century Photography. As part of this
interactive,
we are considering asking visitors to enter there email address in order
for
them to retrieve the final image. We're trying to find out if any other
Museums
have utilised a system like this for any interactives and how successful
it was?
We also have the added consideration that the system will be storing
these
finished Photographs, which will include images of children, as ithe
interactive
is aimed at families and whether there are any legal implications with
this?
I look forward to hearing from you,
Regards,
Scott
