ICT installations to make easier visit by disadvantaged people - Museum of Oriental Arts in Venice

Updated on :22/04/2020

The second case study of Venetian Cluster was decided to be the Museum of Oriental Arts in Venice.

Venice and its lagoon is another important UNESCO site since the 1987 and the selection of the Museum of Oriental Arts of Venice brought a more complex and challenging site where the accessible solutions can be applied.

Venetian Cluster proposed its solutions to the Museum Director and together they decided to pursue the development of three ICT instruments for the virtual reality which will be used to improve accessibility and facilitate the visit for everyone. The proposal was positively accepted because the Museum of Oriental Arts has already worked on the accessibility of the exhibition for people with disabilities, and it proposes a tactile path for impaired and blind, audio guides, explanative panels available in different languages, so the innovative instruments would be a different way to increase accessibility.
