Design of a Location-aware System for Supporting Marble Museum Visitors
نویسنده
چکیده
Museum visitors can exploit the fast technological evolution of recent mobile devices in order to receive interactive support while freely moving about in a museum, thus enriching their experience. In our work we provide users with multimedia location-dependent information. We detect automatically users’ position by interacting with ad-hoc infrared beacons installed at the entrance of each Museum room.
