Museums take this educational role seriously, and many institutions understand the need to sustain and broaden their appeal. “They used to be these big ivory towers of knowledge and history and thought and art,” said Hilary Knight, director of Change& in London and former director of digital at Tate. “Museums themselves are changing their role to be centers for discussion and encounter and to be much more participatory.”

Instead of following the same route every day, ORION analyzes the packages to be delivered that day and determines an optimal routing for the ‘package cars.’ The drivers are told where to go next by their handheld computers.”
