David, This is fascinating as I see a lot of museums promoting technologies such as AI/AR that promotes the use of your mobile devices.

But yes, also for charging — (the museum was 10 seconds away from signing off on banks of usb ports installed in walls all around the floorplan "as a way to get people to "hang out and have conversations" before I showed up) somewhat related — I tweeted these a little while ago: - The most radical tech thing we could do in the 21st century museum building is commit to a 100% screen-free experience. The #musetech challenge then: Could we articulate, _convincingly_, what we would lose by deleting all screen-based digital interfaces? #musetech #calmtechnology - What if museums offered cell phone lockers so that visitors could experience galleries w/o their devices? Seen as a _service_ and not a _requirement_, Museums could be a calm respite from tech instead of a space that exploits digital dependence. #musetech http://bit.ly/2MbPndn - Are there any museums out there that have the guts to deploy something like Yondr? #musetech #calmtechnology (cc @caseorganic #yondr) http://bit.ly/2K2QMzX David Nuñez ┃ Director of Technology & Digital Strategy ┃ MIT Museum <http://mitmuseum.mit.edu/> ┃ 617.452.2111 On Fri, Sep 27, 2019 at 2:47 PM, Sina Bahram <s...@sinabahram.com> wrote: > Bryon, > > One additional thing to consider is to make sure any locking mechanism > is inclusive, especially for someone who may not be able to see to > actuate the interface, use two hands to actuate it, etc. > > Take care, > Sina > > President, Prime Access Consulting, Inc. > Phone: 919-345-3832 > https://www.PAC.bz <https://www.pac.bz/> > Twitter: @SinaBahram > Personal Website: https://www.sinabahram.com > > -----Original Message----- > From: mcn-l <mcn-l-boun...@mcn.edu> On Behalf Of Bryon Thornburgh Sent: > Friday, September 27, 2019 1:43 PM > To: mcn-l@mcn.edu > Subject: [MCN-L] Secure Mobile Device Charging > Lockers/Cabinets/Stations > > Does anyone have any experience with secure mobile device charging > lockers/cabinets/stations (example: > https://chargetech.com/product/cell-phone-charging-locker/) where a > visitor can securely leave their device plugged into a charger?
