Bluetooth,
to
NFC,
each
posing
unique
financial
and
practical
constraints.
Finally,
we
acknowledged
that
any
potential
renovation
and
digital
transformation
should
accommodate
visitors
with
disabilities,
whether
in
the
construction
and
spatial
design
of
the
museum,
in
upgrading
old
maps
and
signage,
or
in
deploying
cutting-edge
technologies
that
engage
multiple
senses.
The
intent
was
not
necessarily
to
prescribe
radical
changes
to
the
Peabody
as
it
embarks
on
its
renovation.
Rather,
it
was
to
explore
the
realm
of
possibilities
and
take
inspiration
from
museums,
installations,
companies,
and
creators
that
are
working
on
memorable
experiences
with
their
use
of
modern
technologies.
Whichever
of
these
many
paths
it
decides
to
pursue,
careful
analysis
is
needed
to
ensure
the
proposed
technologies
are
used
in
a
manner
consistent
with
the
Peabody’s
mission
and
values.
