NMC Horizon Report > 2012 Museum Edition

The NMC Horizon Report > 2012 Museum Edition, is a co-production with the Marcus Institute for Digital Education in the Arts (MIDEA), and examines emerging technologies for their potential impact on and use in education and interpretation within the museum environment. The international composition of the advisory board that chose the technologies, trends, and challenges reflects the care with which a global perspective for the report was assembled. While there are many local factors affecting the adoption and use of emerging technologies in museums, there are also issues that transcend regional boundaries and questions we all face. It was with this in mind that the report was created. View the work of the advisory board on the official museum wiki at museum.wiki.nmc.org.

The 2012 Horizon Report Museum Advisory Board initially voted on the top 12 emerging technologies — the result of which is documented in this interim report.

The Short List helped the advisory board narrow down the 12 technologies to six for the full publication. Those results are available in this official Preview.
