Dinosaur Factory
Interesting use of Pocket PCs in Japan. If I remember correctly they were using a Cassiopaeia.
"At the entrance, visitors are given a personal digital assistant (PDA), which they wear around their necks. When they reach different areas of the exhibit and hold up the PDA to a pole called a Fact Scope, information about nearby exhibits is displayed on the PDA. Visitors can also listen to an audio program via earphones; the virtual tour guides are real researchers. The visitors can also use the PDA to take pictures. ..... When visitors complete their tour, they are given a special ID number and a password. After returning home, they can access the official website http://dinosaurfactory.jp/en/index.htm and view the data from the PDA they used during the tour, as well as any pictures they took."
