Application of L-type Horizontal Inquiry Machine in Museums and Cultural Venues: Exhibits Inquiry and Smart Guide


The digital transformation of museums and cultural venues is changing the inquiry terminal from "optional auxiliary screen" to "the audience's first contact point": in addition to paper signs and manual explanations, the audience hopes to check the exhibits, listen to voice explanations and see the tour route by themselves. QUNMAO is configuring for Wenbo projects.L-type horizontal inquiry machineAt the same time, we can observe the common requirements-the horizontal table can not only carry touch queries, but also place catalogue, promotional leaflets and navigation manuals side by side. Touch and paper materials complement each other. From the perspective of the manufacturer, this paper makes clear the functional design, content planning, point-to-point dynamic line, durability requirements and CMS management under the museum scene, which can be directly referred by the integrator and the museum when writing the plan and making the bidding response.

Changes in the Role of Inquiry Terminals under the Trend of 1. Museum Digitalization

In the past ten years, most of the touch screens in the exhibition hall are "electronic copies of the exhibits": they are erected beside the display cabinets, the contents are repeated with the exhibition signs, and the audience passing rate is low. After digital transformation, the location of the query terminal is changing fromAuxiliary PresentationTurnActive Navigation and Content Distribution Hub-Undertake the detailed inquiry of exhibits, route recommendation, multilingual voice explanation, video and 3D display scheduling, and even become the content operation entrance between the museum and the audience.

In this transition,L-type horizontal inquiry machineIt is more suitable for cultural and cultural scenes than wall-mounted and vertical ones: its horizontal table top can display books, guide manuals and commemorative leaflets side by side, and the moving line of "turning paper first, then touching" is naturally established. At the same time, the height of the table top and the inclined screen face standing and wheelchair audiences, which meet the basic requirements of barrier-free visits to museums. This is also the reason why we are writing more and more L-type horizontal inquiry machines into the point list in cultural and cultural projects.

Core Function Design of 2. L-type Horizontal Inquiry Machine in Exhibition Hall

The functional design of the L-type horizontal inquiry machine for museum scenes is suggested to focus on three main lines: details of exhibits, route navigation and multimedia playback. The three lines share a set of content background to avoid separate maintenance of each exhibition item.

Exhibit Details: Information Hierarchy and Information Architecture

Details of exhibits are organized according to "name → age/material → background story → extended reading" level 4: only name, age and an introduction are placed on the first screen to ensure readable within 5 seconds; Click to expand the background story, related exhibits and collection location step by step. The search portal suggests that keywords, exhibit numbers and voice input are supported at the same time. When text search is not friendly to the elderly audience, voice and "browsing by exhibition hall" are more secure ways to get to the bottom.

Route guide: linkage of moving line recommendation and zoning map

The routine method of route navigation is to recommend 1-2 visiting lines ("classic 60-minute line" and "thematic depth line") at the entrance point, and the exhibition area node provides tips on "remaining exhibits in the current exhibition hall" and "direction of the next exhibition hall", and links with the zoning map. The linkage map should be downgraded to a static floor plan in a weak network environment to avoid the interruption of navigation caused by network fluctuations.

Multimedia playback: video/audio/3D model call logic

Multimedia materials are managed according to the strategy of "call and load, exit and release": voice explanation is pre-cached according to exhibits segments, video control is 1-3 minutes and triggered manually by default, 3D models have high hardware requirements, and it is recommended to enable them only at conditional points. In terms of loading priority, text> picture> audio> video> 3D model ensures that the first screen feedback is always the fastest after the audience touches.

Content planning of 3. L-type horizontal inquiry machine: organization method of voice, graphic and video

Content planning directly determines whether the audience is willing to use the second time. QUNMAO has several experiences in the content planning of cultural and cultural projects:

  • Speech segmentation and multi-language switching:The voice control of a single exhibit is 40-90 seconds, and it is organized by "what is it → watch → background". The multi-language (Chinese/English/Japanese/Korean, etc.) switching entrance is fixed in the upper right corner of the first screen, and the language configuration is determined according to the audience structure of the museum.
  • graphic information density control:The text of a single screen should not exceed 120 words to avoid the information overload of "copy the exhibition sign on the screen"; Structural information such as age and material are typeset with tags, leaving only story lines in the text.
  • Video duration and trigger strategy:Special video 1-3 minutes, the default manual trigger, support at any time to pause; do not automatically loop playback, to avoid the exhibition hall sound interference with each other.

In the content planning process, QUNMAO will provide the information architecture template, page copy specification and material list when delivering the plan: after the library organizes the content according to the template, we will complete the interface adaptation and joint adjustment, and only need to replace the material and do not need to redo the framework when changing the exhibition. This cooperation method has been verified in the content online process of several cultural and cultural projects.

4. L-type horizontal inquiry machine point and visit line combination

If you choose the right position, the machine will be used. It is suggested to plan the scene according to three types of points:Inlet diversion point-- Place 1-2 sets, undertake overview introduction and route recommendation, and relieve the pressure on the service desk;Exhibition area node-The exhibition hall/floor shall be arranged at the intersection of the moving line, and the exhibition details and multimedia broadcasting shall be undertaken;Export summary point-Undertake feedback, derivatives tour and next visit appointment.

In terms of the relationship between the point position and the flow of people, three points should be paid attention to: first, the equipment should be placed at the position where the audience "naturally stops" instead of in the center of the moving line to avoid blocking the way; Second, the distance between adjacent points should not be less than 8-10 meters to prevent the audience from getting together and interfering with each other. The third is to estimate the residence time of the entrance and key exhibition area.

Before the start of each cultural and cultural project, the QUNMAO engineering team will go to the site to do a point survey according to the audience's moving line, and output a point map including the direction of the flow of people, the resident point, and the strong and weak current routing, and then determine the model, table size and quantity based on this. The purpose of this survey process is to avoid the rework of "the equipment is not found to be valid only when it is present.

5. L-type horizontal inquiry machine durability requirements: high flow of people, anti-false touch

The museum is a typical scene of high flow of people and long-term operation. The durability of the L-type horizontal inquiry machine is higher than that of ordinary commercial models. The core is four points:

  • touch screen durable:Capacitive G G touch structure, touch life is designed according to 60 million times (corresponding to QUNMAO 43 inch QM-C43XJ-P mass production parameters), with anti-fingerprint coating, reduce the accumulation of scratches and stains under high human flow;
  • Fuselage anti-collision:Cold-rolled steel plate, metal fuselage and aluminum profile frame, with anti-collision arc treatment at the corners, and the collision between children and wheelchairs will not damage the structure and appearance;
  • Misoperation prevention structure:The height of the table top is designed according to the difference between standing and children. Keep a safe distance between the screen area and the edge of the table top to prevent children from climbing by leaning against and touching by mistake;
  • Long run:Standby power consumption ≤ 1W, rated power consumption ≤ 85W, supporting 7 × 24-hour operation, applicable to 0-55 C / 10%-90% RH environment, suitable for air conditioning and seasonal temperature difference in exhibition hall.

For high-flow models, QUNMAO will perform touch life test, weather resistance test and structural anti-collision sampling before leaving the factory, and the test data will be provided with the factory report. Batch items support pre-assembly of the whole machine and delivery after full inspection. Integrators can obtain corresponding test records before signing the bill.

CMS Content Management System 6. on L-type Horizontal Query Machine

The content of the museum changes with the exhibition cycle, and CMS is the base for the long-term operation of the L-type horizontal inquiry machine. Proposed Content Management Mechanism:

  • Remote update and multi-terminal synchronization:The content is pushed in groups according to the exhibition hall/equipment, and the timing release is supported to synchronize with the whole museum with one key, and the content switching can be completed on the day of the exhibition change;
  • Exhibitions change periodically:Materials are classified and managed according to "permanent exhibition/special exhibition/temporary exhibition". After the extension, they are filed and not deleted, which is convenient for reuse;
  • Permission rating:The curator is responsible for the contents of the exhibits, the technical side is responsible for the system and hardware parameters, the explanation side is responsible for the fine-tuning of voice and copy, and the three-party authority isolation and operation marks are left.

During the docking process, the content review process and interface opening cycle of the IT department of the library are often longer than the equipment production cycle-the earlier the docking evaluation is started, the more controllable the online time of the exhibition content is. QUNMAO provides technical solutions and joint debugging support for CMS docking, covering content format, material naming and version rollback conventions, and advances in the project according to this schedule.

8. L-type horizontal inquiry machine procurement points

The museum project purchases L-type horizontal inquiry machine. The cost is suggested to be disassembled according to four logic to avoid only comparing the screen price:Screen specifications and durability levels(size, resolution, brightness, touch type and touch life),Table body material and process(cold rolled steel/aluminum profiles, spraying, corner treatment),Content planning and CMS docking service cost(information architecture, material arrangement, interface debugging),Customized point transformation(size, color, LOGO, opening). Each block has a clear price impact and should be itemized on the quotation to avoid late additions.

The fuselage adopts cold-rolled steel plate metal spraying process and aluminum profile frame to support customization of the whole machine size and appearance. Batch projects support factory pre-assembly and factory full inspection. Integrators can make an appointment for factory inspection and sign batch orders after checking the production process and quality inspection on the spot.

9. L-type horizontal inquiry machine FAQ

What is the difference in durability between the L-type horizontal inquiry machine of the museum scene and the ordinary commercial inquiry machine?

The difference is concentrated in four points: touch life (museum models are designed according to 60 million times, and ordinary commercial machines are usually one order of magnitude lower), body collision resistance (cold-rolled steel body anti-collision arc corner), anti-mistouch structure (table height and screen safety distance design, anti-mistouch and children climbing), long-term operation (7 × 24-hour operation and low-power standby). The touch and power consumption parameters corresponding to QUNMAO 43-inch QM-C43XJ-P are subject to the factory test report.

When changing the exhibition, does the content in the inquiry machine need to be redeveloped?

No need. As long as the content is organized according to the classification of "permanent exhibition/special exhibition/temporary exhibition" and managed through CMS background, only the exhibit library, voice package and video material need to be replaced when changing the exhibition, and synchronized to the whole museum equipment with one key after permission review. If special material types such as 3D models of exhibits need to be added, separate development evaluation is involved.

Interactive table and L-type horizontal inquiry machine in the museum scene how to match the choice?

The division of labor is different and can be complementary: the L-type horizontal inquiry machine is suitable for "single-person self-service" scenes such as entrance guide, exhibit inquiry and route recommendation, and the horizontal table can also display paper catalogue; The interactive table is suitable for "multi-person collaboration" scenes such as cultural relic interaction and digital exhibition items, and is suitable for thematic interaction areas. The common combination is L-type horizontal inquiry machine for entrance and exhibition node, and interactive table for thematic interactive area. The selection logic and landing matching of the two forms can be referred to our collocation.Application of Interactive Table in Exhibition Hall and MuseumOne article.
