Peer Reviewed & Fact Checked

1. Content Approach

Link each exhibit code to a lightweight page with short text, audio, and images. Avoid auto-playing sound, and support captions and transcripts.

2. Languages

Offer language selection on arrival rather than separate codes. Test right-to-left languages such as Urdu and Arabic on real devices.

3. Connectivity

Many galleries have weak signal. Keep pages small or provide on-site WiFi and a caching progressive web app.

4. Physical Design

Mount at a consistent height near the label, with a clear quiet zone and matte, non-reflective material. Add a short URL and a tactile marker so visitors with low vision can find the code.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should every exhibit have its own code?

Yes, and each should link to a specific page so visitors get relevant content.

How do I help visitors with no signal?

Provide on-site WiFi or pre-downloadable guides, and keep pages lightweight.
