Improving discoverability of knowledge leveraging modern technology Catherine Devine, Business Strategy Leader – Libraries and Museums, Microsoft RLUK Digital Shift Forum

In this talk Catherine explores the possibilities of improving discoverability of collections and information through the use of modern technologies, such as artificial intelligence. Digitising collections and making them accessible is only scratching the surface of what is possible to understand and access about the world’s knowledge. She paints a vision for the future and the possibilities for humanity that come from increased understanding and access to knowledge, and then drills down to reality and the present day to talk about the improvements to discoverability that can be realised now, building on existing systems and processes.

Audio Tours at the USS Midway Microsoft Libraries and Museums Podcast

Sometimes augmenting an experience doesn't mean virtual reality or immersive rooms. It can also mean using the technology that best fits the experience. In this case at the USS Midway, Mark Berlin, Director of Operations, and Jeff Danziger, North America Sales Director for Guide-ID, leverage the tried, true, and very successful audio guides aboard the ship to enhance the visitor experience. Listen to their story of audio guide hardware to mobile and back again after seeing visitors choose the device 90% of the time, and how they plan to approach other storytelling technologies.

Plus, commentary by Microsoft's Catherine Devine.

Bringing a 13th Century Castle to Life in Italy Microsoft Libraries and Museums Podcast

A visitor walks into a 13th century Italian castle and UNESCO Heritage site. The walls are bare. They poke around for a few seconds then walk out.

That was then.

Now, with a new mixed reality experience developed by Hevolus, Infratel, and Microsoft, Castel del Monte has become a HoloMuseum. Visitors can engage with various augmented reality experiences to add layers of information and detail about the castle.

Antonio Squeo, Chief Information of Hevolus, shares the details of this experience and the role that the 'phygital' museum will play in the future of cultural experiences.

Plus, commentary by Microsoft's Catherine Devine.

The “Digital Layer” in Museums Catherine Devine, Business Strategy Leader - Libraries and Museums, Microsoft MuseumNext 2019

We are living in an era where the world is changing rapidly. It has always been changing, but that frequency is now multiple times in a generation rather than occurring as one generation transitions to another. Museums are challenged in how to stay relevant in this environment whilst remaining authentic to their identity, and their core skills. Today, technology from only a few years ago now looks distinctly like a museum piece, channels that visitors engage in are growing, changing and dying multiple times in a year, the voice of Museums is changing as they engage in changing channels.This session will introduce the concept of the “digital layer”. A framework for authentically adapting to a rapidly changing environment and meeting the needs of a spectrum of audiences ranging from traditional to those that are highly digital.
