The American Museum of Natural History, through their Explorer app, are regarded as being among the original pacesetters in enhancing awareness of the use of GPS location technology in an indoor setting, through providing in-depth navigation capabilities within the largest of buildings.
With the Museum’s Explorer 2.0 version, currently in an advanced stage of development, projections are that its increased capability will be able to provide a dramatically re-imagined on and off-site experiential guide to the museum.
