The New Media Consortium's Horizon Report has, for several years, identified emerging technologies and their impact on education. For 2008, the supplementary report, the Horizon.Museum Project, considered a number of emerging technologies and their impact on museums. Mobile devices were identified as having potential impact in the first horizon, "time to adoption: one year or less." As museums try to decide how or whether to integrate mobile technology into their projects, particularly in this time of limited resources, they can learn from the experience of other museums which have already implemented and evaluated the use of mobile devices. This panel will analyze several such projects and discuss the lessons learned in the ensuing evaluations.
