The EEA aviation museum in Oshkosh has revealed its tour called ‘Inside the Hangar’ allowing visitors to scan QR codes. This move constitutes a groundbreaking plan that aims to upgrade the museum experience. Hence, customers have the opportunity to have in-depth, behind the scenes insights into specific aircraft exhibits. More particularly, by simply scanning the codes with their smart devices, visitors can access detailed backgrounds, archival photographs not showcased in the museum, and other information not featured on conventional signage. In addition, the first QR code is located at the museum entrance, that describes the self-guided tour features and their advantages. In total, all the codes are diversely located in numerous areas of EAAs core aircrafts Mechanix Illustrated Baby Ace, Little Audrey, and Little Bonzo. The Huey helicopter display in the Eagle also shows this new interactive feature. Hangar Amelia Anderson, the EAA Aviation Museum collections curator similarly said:
“Museum visitors across the country are increasingly looking for interactive experiences, and the Synthesia software enables us to offer much more depth to our exhibits than we could ever fit on a sign. This system also gives us the flexibility to share additional and behind-the-scenes information as we discover it. As interest grows, we plan to expand this feature to more exhibits in the coming year.”
