One must start by informing the reader that interpretation at dark tourism sites has benefited from changes in technological advances Sharpley & Stone (2009). Across many sites new technology is emerging and sites are adapting their exhibitions to 'change with the times' so to speak. In doing this though, the issue lays within how the required message will be interpreted by the visitors.

 

Within the 9/11 museum many of these technological advances are evident. A few images on this page show just a few examples of what's on offer. Touch screen exhibitions, ipad tours, audio tours in several languages, videos and films and interactive exhibits are all on show within the museum. In addition to this, visitor's are also encouraged to download the 9/11 memorial apps onto their smartphones which are available free of charge. Stone and Sharpley (2009, p. 115) recognize the need to maintain the dignity of people that the site or attraction commemorates through its interpretation. In argument of this, although the site does encourage visitor's to check-in and hashtag themselves at the venue, purely as a marketing incentive. The museum does consist of powerful and overwhelming exhibits, where filming and photography is strictly prohibited. In doing this, the stories and information that is taken in within these restricted zones is interpreted in a way which respects the dead.
