본 논문에서는 루브르박물관, 미국자연사박물관, 대영박물관, 아시아문명박물관, 국립미술관, 빌바오 구겐하임스마트폰 애플리케이션에 대한 사용자 평가를 통해 정보서비스에 대한 만족도를 비교하고, 사용성과 기능적 특성간의 상관관계를 검증했다. 사용자 평가에 대한 종합결과와 정보서비스의 총점을 비교한 결과, 빌바오 구겐하임, 미국자연사박물관, 루브르박물관에 대한 만족도가 높게 평가되었다. 또한 사용성은 개인화적 특성, 비간섭적 특성, 동기부여, UX/UI, 연결완전성이 내재한 관람모형, 정보서비스 등 모든 요인과 유의미한 상관관계에 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 도출된 하나의 중요한 시사점은 박물관 스마트 폰 애플리케이션에 대한 만족도는 하드웨어나 기술의 적용보다는 콘텐츠와 관람객 사이에서 발생하는 인터랙션에 따라 좌우된다는 것이다.

This research sheds light on the non-intrusive traits of mobile devices (Electronic Guidebook, Rememberer, I-Guides and eXspot) deployed in Exploratorium for enhancing visitor experience via case studies. In an interactive exhibition environment, non-intrusiveness was the key to supporting the immersive experience and meaning-making for visitors. The usability of hand-held devices directly impacted on the non-intrusiveness, thereby reshaping the form-factors of mobile devices. The change in from-factor has also minimized the functions of devices as the remember of museum experience. Furthermore, the role of mobile devices, which turned from a supposed multi-media guide to a mere rememberer, made them virtually impossible for realizing the "seamless visiting model" originally planned. An array of projects carried out in Exploration have achieved some degree of success such as increasing viewing time as well as reinforcing post-visit activities. However, taken from musicological perspective, increase in viewing time is by all means insufficient to be taken as proof since it is assumed to be achieved by photo-taking (i.e. MyExploratorium) rather than by interacting between visitors and exhibits. This issue --increased viewing time -- needs to be analyzed in depth. All in all, mobile devices used in Exploratorium can be defined as a learning tool/educational supporting medium based on personalization for (visitors') optimizing extended museum experience.

This research validates the correlation between usability and functional attributes whilst comparing the degree of satisfaction of information framework used in museum mobile apps via usability evaluation in pre-visit setting. In cases of Bilbao Guggenheim and American Natural History Museum apps, the degree of satisfaction measured for information service, functional attributes, motivation for actual museum visit and during-visit usability of the apps were all highly evaluated. Such evaluation data indicates the increased usability of apps when mobile applications take user-friendly design that intuitively reflect users' interests and needs. After thorough analysis of correlation between usability and fictional attributes, data pointed to more meaning relationships existed in non-intrusiveness and personalization than other functional attributes. In conclusion, we were able to acknowledge the usability of museum mobile apps depends upon the interaction between content and functional attributes rather than entertainment factor and technology.
