A survey and evaluation of mobile apps in science centers and museums

Abstract: This paper studies how science centers and museums around the world have used mobile apps with museum guide characteristics and tries to identify the best interface design principles to improve their use as a tool for interaction with the public. For this purpose, we mapped mobile apps from science centers and museums and applied an evaluation tool for each one to identify good practices. This allowed us to produce guidelines for identifying good practices in the development of apps as a way of expanding visit… Show more

“…The applications were evaluated through the following criteria by two independent experts: interactivity, technical standard, authenticity, communicative values, and visitor experience. Criteria were selected through a survey of literature assessing current multimedia applications in museums [Carreras & Rius, 2011;Damala, Ruthven & Hornecker, 2019;Barbosa et al, 2021;Morais et al, 2022] and the analysis of prize-winning digital explaining tools [AVICOM, n.d.; HiM, n.d.]. The interactivity criterion involved functions that help establish a human-machine relationship.…”

“…A major criticism of MCDM is that different methods lead to different taxonomies when applied to the same problem [15,17,18]. For this purpose, lately, different comparative analyses of MCDM methods have been implemented in different domains [15,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

“…Az alkalmazásokat két független szakértő a következő szempontok szerint értékelte: interaktivitás, technikai színvonal, hitelesség, kommunikatív értékek és látogatói élmény. A kritériumokat a múzeumok jelenlegi multimédiás alkalmazásait értékelő szakirodalmi felmérés (Carreras & Rius, 2011;Damala, Ruthven és Hornecker, 2019;Barbosa et al, 2021;Morais et al, 2022) és a díjnyertes digitális magyarázó eszközök elemzése (AVICOM, n.d.; HiM, n.d.) révén választották ki.…”
