We are looking for colleagues willing share their experiences about lending mobile devices to visitors to encourage and/or broaden the audience for their mobile apps. We have reviewed the Museums & Mobile Survey 2012, but are hoping for more anecdotal information.
If your institution has lent or lends mobile devices for in-gallery or exhibition apps, what types of devices have you made available to visitors? Do you charge a fee for the app? Do you charge a rental fee for the device? How do you secure the hardware or ensure that it is returned? We are also interested in hearing responses from anyone with plans to rollout a mobile project in the coming year.
