Some Reflections on Adapting to Situations
نویسنده
چکیده
An ideal electronic guide to a museum is one that you take at the entrance, put in your pocket and forget to have. It should fully support a free, natural visit providing the most appropriate information at the right time and place. The only activity required to visitors is enjoying the exhibition: the interaction is with the (augmented) museum, no longer with the guide; the guide analyses the context and composes presentations adapted to the current situation. Of primary importance in an augmented museum is the interpretation of both visitor’s behaviour, e.g., stops, long stay, coming back, and the context where the action takes place. The place of use (a museum, the open air), the device (a PDA, a phone) or the available infrastructure (networks, GPS, infrared) are as important as social aspects (e.g., being alone or not, who the others are, if this brings pressure) and personal traits (e.g., attitudes, preferences, interests). This interpretation involves both material and social aspects. On the bases of the experience gathered developing an augmented and adaptive museum, some general statement related to build context−aware applications are here discussed.
