  23. CAN-DO TeamCollections Access Network for Digitized Objects 3D 2D IT Strategy + Excellent PM Mutual Purpose Team

  24. Questions to Work Through • Where is the precedent in the industry for what we are doing? QR Code? RFID? PLAY? • How can we design a data model before we design the user interface? Aren’t the stories and objects in the UI? • Aren’t too many choices confusing for our guests? Few objectives vs. many. • How can visitors curate their own experience? Where’s the authority? • How can we design a data model for multiple purposes; we don’t even know? CAN-DO Debate
