Advantages:
-Informative and interactive. Provides a good amount of information about artworks and artists in an interactive approach.
-Instant access to information about artwork/artist by using the camera function on your phone. Immediately recognises the images when the user points the camera at a certain artwork.
-It may enhance the user experience as they are not just traditionally walking around. The app may also encourage the audience to engage with the artwork.
Disadvantages:
-App is hard to navigate through if you're not familiar with the space.
-It works better on bigger screens e.g. an ipad. It makes it more difficult to see the artwork details when it is restricted down to an iphone size.
-A 2 hour download wait to download 14941 content. This might be an issue if the user wants to download this app when they arrive at the space. Downloading would be an issue if there is no wifi available. This issue could be possibly solved if the museum supplied ipads/tablets that have the app installed beforehand.
-The human experience factor is as the user is looking at the artwork through a screen (window).
