1. Gallery Presentation Component

          1. Description

            2. This component is associated to the presentation of information about a special gallery in the museum. It can be shown who designed it, the dimensions, why its name, and any additional information needed. This component is used also to make emphasis in the most relevant elements of the gallery by means of the emphasize component.

            The visitor enters the gallery and when he/she clicks on the audio button to hear the information, the Audio Player interfaces is shown, the user controls the audio through the provided interface (Play-Pause-Stop) and at a relevant point of time a virtual 3D object appears in the scene, then a special element or fact in the gallery can be emphasized and at the end one or more than one images of the designer of the gallery are displayed on the screen.

            This component is based in other composed component (Audio Player component).

            andAudioAP.in2

            boolean

            This slot must be connected to the audio button of the user interface. This slot allows the user to ask for oral information.

            andExhibit_NotDetectedWPS.in2

            boolean

            This slot must be connected to corresponding exhibit number of the user interface component. If this slot is active, the screensaver of the exhibit will be shown when the marker is not detected.
