Apps or Websites
Socrates would create a website instead of an app, the website will be mobile friendly. The museum staff can benefit from a mobile friendly website that is suitable for all devices, independent from app stores, easier technology such as html to change and update. Cost is a major factor as well as the fact that the exibitions/artists in the Park change often and updating apps is difficult.
Mobile phones alternatives to pda guides, audio multimedia info for objects artist, useful for museum guide information.
Complete mobile surveys - get free admission to Noguchi or other museums that are a part of LICCA (Long Island City Cultural Alliance)
