The
Exploratorium is a large, open space populated with hands-on
science exhibits. The building's free-form, workshop-like
structure contains several hundred exhibits, which frequently
rotate on and off the floor. Users of all ages and scientific
knowledge roam from exhibit to exhibit, manipulating the
apparatuses, reading information mounted on labels, and
occasionally consulting "explainers"-museum
guides who explain the exhibits' operation and the scientific
phenomena behind them. The Exploratorium is an ideal setting
for exploring the use of nomadic computing tools because
it is an environment rich in physical artifacts and is
explored by mobile users.
