چکیده

This paper describes the design principles and the main technical solutions of an interactive multimedia guide for an art exhibition about Ethiopian Christian art at Ca’ Foscari in Venice, Italy. The guide has been implemented on an iPod touch, aiming at coupling rich multimedia content with a natural interaction style. The design is based on the Apple version of the Webkit development environment, interfaced with an application layer that intercepts the visitor gestures, offering a natural interaction style on top of standard web-oriented gestures.
