Mobile Technologies and Creative Tourism : The History Unwired Pilot Project in Venice Italy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to present a pilot mobile technology walking tour created in Venice, Italy within the context of creative tourism. The paper will focus primarily on the workings and user studies of the History Unwired (HU, see http://web.mit.edu/frontiers) project in Venice, Italy and pull in some authenticity research and other projects related to mobile technology in the tourism sector. From the outset, we recognize the potential incompatibility between the natural, palpable beauty of Venice and cutting edge mobile technology. We examine mobile media as a means of creating interactions between tourists and locals and as a means of activiting travelers as co-producers of travel experiences. This paper is being written at a time in which mobile technology content development is in its infancy, and bound to evolve in many directions, especially in the tourism industry. Thus we could say that merging rather than opposing cultural tourism studies into mobile technology development, might create an important impact on this nascent field.
