How did Explainers respond to Wi-Fi–enabled handhelds?
 
The handheld resources prompted users to think about and interact with the exhibit in new ways, but the device tended to interfere with hands-on activities at the exhibit. Many felt a sense of isolation. A majority of users also expressed a concern that the handheld would interfere with exhibit play.
