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.
