Nintendo DS museum guide
31st October, 2006 by stuart
The National Museum of Western Art in Ueno, Tokyo, is providing visitors with a Nintendo DS Lite and special cartridge that allows the console to be used as a portable guide to the museum. Using various access points (below), the DS can detect when a person moves from room to room, and can therefore display new and relevant information onscreen. If the user happens to see a painting that they like in the museum, then they can simply browse to it on the console and hit ‘print’. The printout will then be waiting for them when leave the museum.
