No worries about getting lost in the museum as the Taipei museum has made the cultural trip a cinematic adventure in itself with the help of technology.
The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) has tapped the expertise of STMicroelectronics and CSR to develop a technology that allows museum visitors to tour the exhibition by themselves but guided by information available from their mobile devices.
STMicroelectronics, which supplied MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems), and CSR, which provided the interactive platform for mobile devices, have teamed up to provide location-based services to MOCA visitors for the King Hu exhibition.
The exhibition, dubbed "King Hu: The Renaissance Man," marks the 80th birthday of one of the legends of Chinese cinema. According to a MOCA blog (http://www.mocataipei.org.tw/blog/post/28117165), King Hu is one of the most revered directors of Chinese cinema who is known for incorporating Asian aesthetics and modern artistic expression. He won a best director award at the Cannes International Film Festival for his kungfu movie ''A Touch of Zen',' which is hailed as his masterpiece.
