User trial at Uffizi Gallery

 

A unique background, the Uffizi Gallery, for three selected groups of people (students from the Middlebury College in Florence, the Friends of the Uffizi and few students from a School of Restoration in Florence) involved in the first User Trial for the Museum Scenario within the MOBIlearn Project.


On December 6th 2004, with an almost unreal Uffizi Gallery as there was nobody around, these students and art experts tested 'live' the museum scenario on cell phones, PDAs and Tablet PCs in Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci rooms.
Most of them never used a palm or a tablet PC, but the staff from Giunti Interactive Labs and Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Piacenza was ready to help.


Here are some pictures from this singular experience, enjoy!
