Gallery
Gallery is an iOS (iPhone and iPad) app for visitors to art galleries and museums. The visitor sees miniatures of the works of art and hears or reads a description of the work.
The gallery app uses iBeacon technology. This requires Bluetooth and Location Services to be turned on, and may impact battery life. When a visitor approaches a work of art, the app recognizes the nearby iBeacon and invites the visitor to immediate move to the page describing that work of art. The visitor can always opt-ion or opt-out of using location services.
At first release (version 1.0) only two galleries are accessible. One is the art gallery at Thorn Hill Vineyards Tasting Room, 1945 Fruitville Pike, Lancaster PA USA; the other is an abridge version of the Stations of the Cross at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 301 St. Thomas Road (off Oregon Pike), Lancaster, PA, USA. At this release, the "content," description of the art works, is stored in an iCloud database, and maintained by the developer (Jay Anderson).
