This project, conducted in Australia at the three properties of Zoos Victoria, studied how interactive multimedia technology affects the visitor experience. The project team researched cultural institutions and survey design; created survey questions; surveyed over 400 people both on and off the zoo properties; conducted focus groups; analyzed the collected data; and made recommendations about how technology could complement visitors' experiences. The results of this study provided a benchmark against which the impact of multimedia technologies may be tracked longitudinally.
