Inclusive Museum Guide

Presentation

The Inclusive Museum Guide (IMG) is a real-time multimodal digital device that :

• will make the museums accessible to any impaired visitor (including visually impaired visitors (PPIV : "Personnes Présentant une Incapacité Visuelle (en français)")
• will help promote accessibility to cultural heritage.
• will give any visitor new esthetic impressions through the experience of multimodal representations (tactile, sound and for some visuals) of 2D artworks.
