WordPress is a pretty decent CMS these days, but following on from others'
points, and hopefully without being too user experience cliched response
about it, what audience need is the beacon-triggered experience meeting? Do
people want more explanation about objects or exhibition themes - and do
they want it while they're standing in the gallery or triggered in gallery
and viewed elsewhere, or something else entirely?
Actually, maybe you could trigger an audience survey from the beacon - at
the very least it'd give you a chance to understand uptake rates and see
how much patience people have for the overall process.
Cheers, Mia
