A wide range of approaches to wireless networks and related technologies exist, so a primary goal of the initial phase of the project was to explore the appropriateness of different types of systems for use in an interactive museum like the Exploratorium. Several varieties of systems using different wireless, location and database technologies were deployed and tested by the Exploratorium in collaboration with HP Labs and the Concord Consortium.
