Web App Wednesday

Posted by iphonefan

This Web App Wednesday review might break the rules a bit.  I have never used this app, and I don’t think I will in the for the foreseeable future.  What I do know is that the potential of this Web App is outstanding.  It is also amazing that a large institution such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York is catering to iPhone users in such a way.

If you have been to a large museum, there are many displays that have interactive audio components to listen to while you view the art.  Usually these are handed out or even rented, along with some handy-wipes (to wipe ear gunk off of), and you look like a fool moseying about with everyone.

Well, over at the MoMA, they are allowing and encouraging iPhone users to browse the art and listen to the interactive audio components directly on their iPhone. Audio is available on demand by specific artwork,  tour program, or by floor. MoMA Audio is done professionally by  curators and artists on works in the collection.

This is spectacular.  I would love if I could use this type of technology at my local art museum or even the zoo.  The more the iPhone is integrated everyday life, the more people will use them and the quality apps, system upgrades, and hardware revisions will keep rolling.

If anyone has used their iPhone at the MoMA, please let me know how the experience went.  I would love to hear it.
