It's mid summer now which means that the university workload decreases slightly for a month so there is time to get on with other projects. One of which is the 'Geevor Infomine'! The Geevor mine is a museum down in Cornwall based at an old Tin Mine and they want a web based information system in the museum for the visitors. That's where we come in. I'm currently developing this for a series of touch screen computers, attempting to allow users to quickly find out about objects on display.
Here's the current look:
The boxes move around the screen to get the visitors attention as theyt pass and there are links to increase the text size, show more information and change exhibitions in the museum. It's got the thumbs up so far so we'll se how it goes.
The museum also want a public website with the same information, but a slightly different look since they infomine doesn;t work particularly well in Firefox. However, since it is only to be shown in house, this isn;t a problem.
More soon!
