A behind the scenes peak at what it took to deliver three non-traditional mobile projects of the past year.  The aim: to identify what it takes to successfully deliver “outside-the-box” thinking when designing a mobile project, and to be inspired by the creativity of our colleagues when working with mobile.  The National Museum of Scotland, Art Gallery of San Diego & the Association for Public Art, Philadelphia.

With an in-gallery positioning system, 3D fly-throughs of masterpieces, in-app. purchases for additional content, and the world’s first museum guide on a Nintendo 3DS, the Louvre has developed one of the most feature-rich portfolio of mobile projects.  In this keynote session, Agnes Alfandari will share the strategy and decision-making that underpins these projects, and will identify the principles that she believes should frame any mobile project.

So you’ve launched a new mobile project, but how are people using it, what features are popular, and is it a success?  This session will take an in-depth look at one of the most powerful and easily accessible tools to aid in answering these important questions.  The Tate and Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney will provide the case studies.

Mobile web sites: all museum’s seem to want one, but no one seems to agree where to start.  By analyzing the development of three very different mobile web projects – from the Rijksmuseum, Baltimore Museum of Art and Walker Art Center – this session will explore the strengths and weaknesses of mobile web development approaches including dedicated mobile sites, responsive web sites and mobile first.
