Abstract :
Astronomy education needs flexible education programs in accordance with various seasonal phenomena. However, panels or exhibits in science museums are often too static to behave dynamically to serve the purpose. In this paper, we represent a method to accomplish this purpose, and propose an easily updatable mobile guiding system, which provides the push notifications to encourage visitors to approach the exhibits. We had 19 people test the system, and found the notifications had better effect for walking inside the exhibition room.
