MCN2015

In this presentation Becky will discuss the mobile application "Storyteller" made to accompany the World War One themed "Love & Sorrow" exhibition at Melbourne Museum. Opened in July 2014 the mobile application was an ambitious project telling the stories of eight people and the way their lives were impacted by the First World War. Designed to work across both iOS and Android devices, with limited content upon download and an unlocking of character content only available once the visitor made it onsite to Melbourne Museum not only did the application have to provide a dense amount of multimedia content it also had to work with onsite infrastructure, indoor location and content arriving from multiple management systems within the Museum's intranet.

As digital producer on the project Becky will share her insights from creative inspiration, collaborating with third party developers (Art Processors) and technical challenges that were overcome. After being live for over twelve months now she will also look back at the reception post launch. From a technical perspective this presentation will discuss working with external developers, working with multiple internal departments within the Museum, iOS and Android application development and deployment and Raspberry Pi hacking.
