I would suggest browser based html for museum inteactives as it allows
repurposing for web based distribution.

So much has changed along the line of computer-based interactives in recent
years. I am preparing to begin consideration of new interactives for a
museum client (science based) and wonder what new formats people are
finding to be easy to use, cost effective and with little maintenance
requirements.
Options Iıve seen lately include:
1. Browser-based interactives (advantages seem to be publicıs familiarity
with the format and cost of production)
2. DVD based format with menu options (seems a good solution for video
options)
3. Traditional one-off programming (pricy!)
Also, it seems that most institutions are leaning toward networked control
and monitoring of all computer interactives. This seems to be the best
solution to help ensure the most ³up time².
Have others used different formats for interactives lately?
Any comments on stand-alone units versus networking?
Thank you.
