Humans started communicating with symbols. This is an important part of the communication system. I think it gets more important now because there are so many different nations represented in one area. When someone doesn’t speaks the same language you can even communicate by using images or signs.
Especially in a museum it is important to understand things without reading texts. For example for children who can’t read or someone who can’t speak the language. As we are characterized by the smartphone and touch area it is a good way to use touch infographics for the visitors. When you have easy illustrations and symbols in it, everyone will understand it and its easier to notice because images are always a better way on recognition than a long text message.
