On Wednesday we finally went to see the Museum, we have been curious since the very start of this project. The visit to the Museum was quite successful. We had prepared questionnaires for the visitors of the museum to see what type of indoor navigation system they preferred. But, as you can imagine (maybe you feel the same way), the visitors were not in the mood for filling in questionnaires. They were definitely not waiting for a couple of students waving with papers and pens. Our strategy was to give a paper and pen and in the meantime keep speaking English, hoping that they would just fill it in so we would stop speaking. Luckily, as foreigners, you don't know when people say 'no no, thanks, later maybe' and the Chinese don't want to be impolite so they felt obliged to help us. We felt a little guilty but all with all, more than a hundred questionnaires were obtained and we even had the possibility to do some tests with the tracking devices we have taken with us from the TU Delft. In the next days a floor plan of the Museum will be provided by the PhD-students, which is important for the progress of the project. Tomorrow, we have an appointment at a Chinese company who have invited us for lunch and to talk about the Master Geomatics and everything that this education has to offer.
