- Jonathan,
-
- My advisor, Chandler Screven has been using Hypercard for museum studies
- recently (Applied Behavior Analysis - testing the effectiveness of museum
- exhibits in conveying information to the visitor). I helped him write a few
- stacks for testing purposes (tests the visitors knowledge of specific
- exhibits).
-
- I have also designed a stack that did some instructing on psychiatric
- drugs for patients, it incorporated the use of Macintalk to read specific
- information to the client (ie. drug names and provide positive reinforcement
- for correct responses to questions).
-
- One of the biggest problems is that Hypercard is fairly slow at times,
- depending on stack size and speed of cpu.
