In the UK, the kind of people who visit National Trust properties are the kind of people who carefully read all the signage and actually listen to the tour guide.
This idea is delightful.
- adlpz 13y agoMaybe, I don't know what is the target of this thing, but most definitely it wouldn't work on a general touristic place, for example. This is a work of art, at most. Not an example of real world usability.
- CanSpice 13y ago"...most definitely it wouldn't work on a general touristic place"? That's a pretty strong statement to use with no proof. The sites that the National Trust maintains are "general touristic places". It's the UK's largest membership organization, with a membership of 3.7 million people in 2010. It owns over 200 historic houses. It owns more than 630,000 acres, nearly 1.5% of the entire land mass of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and owns or protects roughly 20% of the coastline. One of its properties -- just one, and remember that it owns over 200 houses and 630,000 acres of land -- had nearly 440,000 visitors in its 2009-10 fiscal year. National Trust properties are most definitely "general touristic places" at which these signs are working.
