Seba is an exhibit guide that runs on your phone. No app needs to be installed — just browse to the site using the QR code above. In the app, scan any exhibit and Seba gives you a short spoken introduction. Then you can keep asking questions, either by speaking or by tapping the suggested questions, for as long as you're curious. It is recommended to use headphones.

1. Scan. Touch the yellow Scan an exhibit button, frame the exhibit, then touch the "Take photo" button. You may need to zoom-in to frame smaller exhibits. Seba identifies the exhibit. If it can't tell for sure, it may show up to three choices, each with a small picture, and ask you to pick the one you are looking at. If none is right, choose None of the above and scan again, with the exhibit centered, closer or better lit.
2. Listen. Seba speaks a short introduction in the language you selected (English, German, French, Spanish or Mandarin). The same text appears on screen as it's read aloud.
3. Ask. A few suggested questions appear as tappable chips, and below them are two green buttons for asking a question of your own. You can:
   • Tap on a chip to ask that question.
   • Tap the green Speak a question button and speak your question. Seba stops listening when you pause, or you can tap the button again when you are done. If you tend to pause while talking, you can keep the button pressed until you are done.
   • Tap the green Type a question button next to it to type your question instead.
   • All your interactions are private.
4. Keep going. Ask as many follow-up questions as you like. Scan a new exhibit anytime to move on.

• Preferences — scroll to the top anytime to adjust Age group, Knowledge level, Response length, or Language. Changes apply to your next question. If you choose Mandarin (普通话) under Language, Seba will respond in Simplified Chinese, and you can ask your questions in Mandarin. Seba needs a Chinese voice on your phone: if it stays silent or can't hear you, check your phone's text-to-speech and voice-input settings for Chinese (Mandarin), or type your question instead.
• New Visitor — handing the phone to someone else? Tap New Visitor (top right) to clear the conversation and start fresh.
• Share — Save or send a copy of your conversation. Tap the Share icon (next to New Visitor).

Seba needs your Camera (to scan exhibits), Microphone (for spoken questions), and Sound (to speak its answers). Your phone will ask permission the first time each is used — tap Allow.
