George Mason University

George Mason University's Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media (RRCHNM) will partner with Ideum and the University of Connecticut's Digital Media Center (UConn DMC) to develop "Omeka Everywhere," a set of software packages including mobile and touch table applications and collections viewer templates, which will improve museums' collection accessibility to visitors by offering a simple, cost-effective solution for connecting onsite web content and in-gallery multisensory experiences. "Omeka Everywhere" will streamline the workflows for creating and sharing digital content with online and onsite visitors, demonstrate how institutions of all sizes and budgets can implement next-generation computer exhibit elements into current and new exhibition spaces, and empower smaller museums to rethink what is possible to implement on a shoestring budget.
