For our current special exhibit,"June 1944: One Month in the War that Changed the World" we have some accompanying oral histories.
We converted them all to Flash (each is about 5-10 minutes long) and they have an associated menu - also programmed in flash. All are on a touch screen (not too expensive) and visitors have had no trouble determining navigation. The flash is really nice - it runs quick and loads fast.

I guess it would have to be near the screen. Was this put on a touch screen? I am hoping to have something that was remote to a screen on the wall (without running cords). But I might now be able to do this. On 6/17/09 1:41 PM, "Perian Sully" <psully at magnes.org> wrote: > We did this in our Projections gallery.
