Τhe Projection Room Application aims to enhance cultural knowledge discovery by increasing access to museums’ digital content through a system that supports the creation and projection of presentations for Museum’s exhibits.

The system provides much functionality satisfying the needs of Museum’s archaeologists, tour guides – instructors and visitors. Depending on the group ones belong, has different privileges on the use of the system.
- The Museum staff is able to create presentations from scratch utilizing the appropriate information stored in the Museum database. They have a full access to the system.
- The instructors or tour guides have less privileges than the museum’s archaeologists. They can create presentations by using the presentations already created by the Museum’s archaeologists.
- Finally, a simple visitor can view a presentation that is already created by the other two groups of users. Of course, both Museum staff and instructors/tour guides can view the presentations already stored in the system.
The presentations can be attended either inside the museum or even outside of it e.g. in schools during a preparation class prior to a museum visit.
