Diquinha: Mobile application to assist in non-formal learning process in museums
Abstract
This paper presents an application to act as virtual monitor of Science Museums. The application is responsible for providing information about exhibits and curiosities of artifacts available in the museum space. The development consisted of observations made by the developers during the visits to the museum, together with the information collected by the monitors present in the museum. For the identification of the artifacts of the exhibitions, a tool was used to develop QR codes that enabled a correct identification of the artifacts. To evaluate the application, an experiment was carried out in a museum with approximately 30 cataloged artifacts, which were photographed for insertion in the application. In addition, each artifact has been inserted relevant information for use and handling, in a simple and informal language, in order to increase the interest of visitors.
