Recommendations were created from visitor surveys, interviews with museum professionals, as well as, evaluations of digital media at other sites. Results show the implementation of an application adds value by letting visitors learn at their own pace, engage the whole family, as well as, share and extend their experience. These values correlate with possible characteristics for a successful application.
