pp. 115 - 122
Authors: Miroslav Bonchev Bonchev Abstract: Museums today use websites, social media, and mobile apps to promote their work and communicate with audiences. However, these tools struggle to provide deep and sustainable engagement. The Information Presenter is a software system that complements museum websites by presenting artifacts in a structured way in a desktop environment. The system offers an accessibility model with an unobtrusive micro-window, a presentation model with specialized slides (images, videos, documents), and the ability for multi-layered interpretation. Curators can easily create thematic galleries, organize content through referenced slides, and build shared editions across multiple museums. Thus, IP enables in-depth exploration combined with ease of implementation and is well suited for institutions of all sizes and available resources.
