Sapago’s Art-FID is a handheld, multimedia information system for gallery artwork. Visitors
borrow the system at the door and then scan tags placed near the works
to get more details, including the artist’s biography, sound, video, the work’s price tag, and so on.

Most gallery visitors are not experts in art and are uncomfortable asking about the medium, artist or style for fear of looking unknowledgeable. It is frustrating for gallery owners and managers to know that a customer has questions but to get only a “just browsing” from them.
Further to my previous posts on Mobile MUSE and Spin-Off Tourism and Gaming Concepts and on Increased Interaction with your Environment, these systems could be further enhanced to allow for the user to provide his own feedback, comments, pictures, photos and so on about the artwork.
