In the National Museum of Fine Art in Stockholm (Sweden) we had in this
winter a small scale test with handheld PDAs which communicated with the
Blue Tooth technique developed by Ericson. Written facts, voice
presentation, music, images related to the painting was combined in a very
promising way. The technique is not yet ready but when it is, we have a very
strong educational tool. However, I think that the costs of the handheld
PDAs will be a great trouble.
