How iPads Are Changing the Way We Visit Museums

Good story by Thomas McMullan on how iPads are changing the way we visit museums:

The majority of these projects have a distinct focus on children. Is it simply easier to convince kids to use iPads and apps in a museum? “Yes,” says Rice. “I can’t tell you how blown away I was by these kids. I think kids are totally comfortable with the technology, and I also suspect that they’re more disciplined than adults in looking around. Whereas the adults tend to look at their phones, kids are more willing to do what feels right at the time.”

Unrelated to iPads, but fascinating (especially given this week’s events): Satoru Iwata interviews Shigeru Miyamoto on the Nintendo 3DS Louvre guide.
