Army Museum Slates BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Visitor InteractivesStockholm, Sweden aMuze Interactive has been commissioned by the Swedish Army Museum to develop new interpretive programs for the museum’s exhibits and collections.
aMuze is producing a series of BYOD (bring your own device) audio guides built around the events and conditions that are brought to life in the museum's historical tableaus. Visitors will be able to use their MP3 players and mobile phones to gain insights into the content and messages of the museum's exhibits. "This is a way for us to deepen and extend our visitors' experience of the Army Museum, without having to invest in a lot of hardware with all the problems of administration and maintenance," says Museum Director, Staffan Forssell. Visitors will be able to download audio guides from the museum's web site or use mobile phones in exhibit areas to call a special number and follow an options menu to select the topics that interest them. The guides have different styles to suit different interests and sensibilities, ranging from historical descriptions with rich soundtracks woven with music and sound effects, to provocative commentaries from well-known authors, politicians and other interesting personalities.

The Army Museum tells the history of Sweden from the point of view of conflicts in which the country has been engaged, from Viking times, through its Great Power period in the 17th and 18th centuries, through its long commitment to neutrality and modern role as a United Nation's peace-keeper. Stories are told by means of realistic tableaus using life-size mannequins to illustrate the effects of these conflicts on common soldiers, their families and civil society. The museum’s collections are integrated into the story-telling, providing visitors with a rich context in which to view the artifacts.
