We use a restaurant app for letting visitors know when it is their turn for certain workshop. We're still prototyping the idea but for now it works with a few complaints. The visitors receive a text when it is their turn as some workshops might require an hour wait while other visitors finish working on projects.

Have any of you used iPads as a way to capture visitor contact info at the front desk?
Thanks,

I did some research a few months ago on the handheld guide/tour topic, and found a ton of reports, including the Tallon and Walker mentioned earlier.
Most of the citations I found interesting are here:
https://www.zotero.org/aliljeholm/items/collectionKey/RUNXK8IU
There's also a group on Zotero called Mobile Museums, which collects articles of all kinds about handheld device/museum work. Definitely a firehose, but there's a lot there.
