DS Acting as a Museum Tour Guide! |
Listed in: Nintendo DS Tags: Japan
Ó
Recently, the NDS has taken upon a new genre of games for the system - interactive guides/tutorials. This first emerged with the Japanese Cooking "game", teaching one how to create a certain dish from a recipe displayed on the NDS. It has been known that Nintendo wanted to incorporate their system for museum tours, and in Japan, it is doing just that in the Nation Western Fine Arts Museum.
So, no more annoying walkmans to carry around with over-used headphones! Yes, now you can walk around in the Nation Western Fine Arts Museum (only museum at the moment that has this great technology), and read up on the paintings that you are currently viewing. The system takes advantage of numerous NDS's features - the touch-screen, the dual screens and the built-in WiFi. Once in a room (each room has its own wireless access point for detection), you can scroll through the paintings on your NDS to locate the one you are interested in and view information on it; and you can even print out a copy of that painting via a wireless printer if you liked it!
Hopefully we will see more unique usages of the NDS in the future, maybe even an ebook reader for schools or part of a library's card catalogue! The NDS has room for great interaction with the modern world and shows no signs of dying out!
