How did Explainers respond to Wi-Fi–enabled handhelds?
  Formative evaluation and early conversations indicated that a deep, broad range of content, inspired and driven by the exhibits themselves and developed to reflect the spirit of the Exploratorium, was the best way to proceed.
Users liked content that helped make exhibits and exhibit phenomena more explicit by introducing new information, demonstrating new ways to interact with the exhibit, or answering questions raised by their experience.
