Exhibit Kit
Overview
Exhibit kits lets you create your own computer exhibits on your office computer. They're quick, simple and you have complete control. You can download a free version right now.
How it works
1) Download. Download the exhibit kit editor to your office computer.
2) Create. Use the editor to create your exhibit. The editor is as easy to use as a wordprocessor - type text in the text boxes, load pictures into the picture boxes. There's no programming involved.
3) Publish. Choose the "Publish" option to make a single file which contains your exhibit. Put this on a flash drive and transfer it to the gallery. Job done.
There are currently two different exhibit kits, Find Out More and the Quiz.
Find Out More
Find Out More lets you use text, pictures and video to give visitors more background information about your exhibition.
The Quiz
The Quiz lets you create fun quizzes to really engage people in your content.
Currently both kits are free to download and fully ready to be used for real gallery exhibits. The free version of Find Out More has a limit of 6 pages and the free version of the Quiz has a limit of 5 questions. If there's enough demand we'll produce commercial versions without these limits.

We've only just released the Exhibit kits and we're really keen to know what people think.
In particular we'd really like to know:
1) Do you like the idea? Is this something you'd like to use in your museum or gallery? Are there any features that would improve them.

More details
Exhibit kits have been tested to run on Windows XP and Windows Vista. If you need a Macintosh version please let us know and why it's important at exhibitkit@joecutting.com.
Exhibit kits can be used with a touchscreen, trackball or mouse.
They can use almost any screen size but for best performance we'd recommend a 17" with a resolution of 1280 x 1024.
You can change all the text which visitors see which means you can create your exhibit in any language which uses the latin character set.
Each exhibit kit comes with a full reference manual which you can also read on the web but the best way of seeing how they work is to download one and try it!
