Hi all,
I am working on a November presentation to National Park Service 
interpretors on the various kinds of "tour" or "interpretive" 
technologies available for use in museums, historic sites, etc.   They 
are particularly interested in knowing more about handheld devices, 
virtual tours/visits, etc.  There is some concern that if they implement 
such devices, they will not need rangers.  This is not unlike the 
concern raised several years ago in the museum community about how 
virtual visits would result in fewer live visits.  I will be calming 
fears, and will be speaking about these as opportunities for providing 
richer visitor experiences.

To that end, I need some help from you all - I need photos of the 
devices, and url's for those of you who do virtual tours/virtual visits 
(I want to show you off).  Do any of you have such images?  Several 
years ago, a number of us attended a RAP session at Liberty on the 
subject, and there were about 50 participants (you know who you are!) 

Oh, and if you are doing something interesting with exhibit interfaces, 
please let me know as well.
Thank you all!
Beryl
