| Abstract | ||
| Using digital technology in museums could bridge gaps between museums and their audiences. Different types of applications could be helpful for the visitors if used in the right place, at the right timing, and in line with the right needs to be an increasingly core element of museums’ strategy. The challenge for museums is to meet their visitors where they are, focusing on how they can leverage the right technology tools that best support their mission. A well-trained staff assisted by digital technology is essential as technology become an important element to enhance the museum’s experience. The main purpose of the study is to explore the extent to which using technology in the Egyptian museum’s display could influence the effectiveness of the museum in targeting new market segments of the Egyptian community meeting their current needs and interests. Since technology could improve the current museum’s display shedding light on unknown information beyond the invaluable artifacts and presenting new experiences to the Egyptian visitor. Egyptian museums should identify how to convey information to the audience without any complications with the aid of effective techniques focusing on the challenges of using such kinds of applications in museums of Egypt. Some applications could be considered one of the main methods of visitor interpretation that has a deep impact on the current museum’s display | ||
