[MCN-L] iPad check-out process

[Ian Smith]

Hi Jessica,

I've just finished a project with Shire Hall Historic Courthouse and they
check out both iPads and iPod Touches for use as Family and Audio Guides
(running Darwin: www.digitalopps.co.uk/site/darwin/)

They work on the very simple basis of a credit/debit card 'safe' - the
visitors hands over the card which is put into an individual, score, box -
they are then given the unique key to that box. SAO no-one but the visitor
can retrieve their card, and the museum doesn't have to take a card imprint
etc.

Pretty straightforward and it seems to work well.  If you're interested I
an forward you their details but in advance of that I'm pretty sure they
use this system: https://cardssafe.com

Best,
Ian

[MCN-L] Elevator digital signage

[Ian Smith]

Hi all,

If you wanted to created simple digital labels for iPad you could do worse
than have a look at Darwin, which is a digital exhibit platform designed
specifically for museums. You can use it to build sophisticated (or simple)
for iPad (and Mac and Windows) and there is no programming knowledge
required.
I'll say no more as this post is basically an advert, but there's more info
here: http://www.digitalopps.co.uk/darwin/

Best regards,
Ian Smith
