Design and fabrication of a smart electronic guide for museums

With the advent of modern technology and novel methods of attracting people to museums, foremost sign of history of a country, different methods arise to guide people inside the museums in a best way possible to facilitate information exchange between individuals and museum guiders. We have designed and fabricated an electronic device, using AVR micro-controller, in order to facilitate transfer of information to the visitors of museums. The device is called smart electronic guide for museums and has the capability of providing the visitors of a museum with pictorial, scripted, and vocal information regarding each object in the museum. Low cost, easy access, promotable program, and being user-friendly in providing information are the main features of our device. The device has passed all the preliminary tests and the results are shown in this work.
