Venue header
The welcome line shown before a visitor identifies an exhibit.
Venue theme
Background material Seba draws on for every exhibit at this venue, alongside each exhibit's own description.
Venue options
Response length is a default applied when a new visitor starts — they can still change it themselves afterward. Silent Mode and Knowledge scope are fixed venue policies, not visitor-adjustable defaults.
Automatic balances speed against depth per visitor and per question — see the "Seba Model Selection Design Note" for the full rules. Pinning to one model here skips that entirely, for every visitor at this venue: a safety valve for a demo, or for a venue that would rather not have it vary.
With streaming on, visitors see and hear the first sentence about a second after asking, instead of after the whole reply is ready. Turn it off only if visitors report replies that don't appear or play properly (for example on a network that interferes with streamed responses). The change applies to every visitor's next question, with no need to reload their page.
When on, each photo a visitor takes that can't be confidently matched is kept with its closest exhibits and their scores (for an automatic scan that gives up, its best picture), so you can look at it under Review and, for example, add it to the right exhibit's reference photos.
With automatic scanning on, once the camera is open Seba sends a picture to the server every so often until it recognises the same exhibit on enough pictures in a row, then beeps and introduces it. A visitor can tap the picture or "Take photo" at any moment instead. These numbers control how it behaves; the standard values are shown at the right. Two rules are built in and are not settings: each picture of a scan needs a slightly smaller lead over the runner-up than the one before (0.1 percentage point less per picture, down to 1%), and if the same exhibit stays on top but with too small a lead for 5 pictures in a row (about 3 seconds), scanning stops and the visitor chooses between the closest exhibits.
Start after
seconds
Standard 2. Time for the visitor to frame the exhibit before the first picture is sent. Counted from when the camera view is live, and again from every zoom change, so no picture is sent while the visitor is still zooming.
Picture every
seconds
Standard 0.5. The next picture is sent this long after the previous one was sent, but never before its answer has come back, so each picture takes at least as long as the server needs.
Give up after
seconds
Standard 15. Protects against an accidental start. Starts again after every zoom change. The visitor is then offered the closest exhibits to choose from, if there are any.
Pictures that must agree
in a row
Standard 1. How many pictures in a row must name the same exhibit, each clearing the Matching Thresholds below, before it is accepted. 1 accepts the first picture that clears them, exactly as for a photo taken by hand; 2 or 3 guard against a wrong match from a single odd picture, at the cost of about half a second each.
When a visitor photographs an exhibit, the closest exhibit is accepted only if its score is high enough and it beats the second-closest exhibit by enough. The better the score, the smaller the lead needed. A photo scoring below the Minimum is never accepted. Values are percentages and may have decimals (for example 75.5).
