Latest Activity
A possibly naive question - are there any especially popular visualisation tools/techniques to represent visitor pathways through museums/galleries? Any recommended reading in this area?
A group discussing how research tools will be changing in the future and sharing experiences
A place for graphic designers, architects, information specialists and anyone else interested in the presentation of information to share ideas, inspirations and best practices.

- Being a Mac user, I like an application for drawing called Omnigraffle. One reason being the ease of using opaque or transparent layers to overlay one or many visitor paths on a base map. (I am sure there would be something similar in Windows.) It is the layer aspect I am pointing to here as a real benefit, especially if animated in a variant of stop-motion. Have you tried this approach, Stuart?

- Hi Stuart, I assume you mean tools for drawing/representing pathways based on data collected in some way or other (in contrast to using tracking devices that both deliver the data and provide the plot). I am not sure about "popular" but I use a simple drawing application to do the job. I have also experimented with using a very small GPS device that drops a log file straight into Google Earth. It was fine for rough and ready path plotting in locations such as zoos & botanic gardens. Not enough resolution, though, for fine-grained tracking that would allow one to be confident that a visitor had stood in front of a particular exhibit.

I see that you've placed the E-Research event on the activity list! Thanks for that! I do hope you enjoy the site! I agree with Lynda, the E-Science info would be great, particularly as we lead up to our Transformations in Cultural and Scientific Communication Conference in March next year!
Cheers

- Hi Stuart, really glad you have joined our network. Look forward to hearing more about your work. Coz I work in a natural history museum e-science is something I'm fascinated by. Be great for you to post a bit more about your work as there's lots of people here that would find it useful I think.
