Visualizing Museum Visitors' Behavior
نویسندگان
چکیده
Museum curators are interested in understanding what is happening in their museum: what exhibitions and exhibits do visitors attend to, what exhibits visitors spend most time at, what hours of the day are most busy at certain areas in the museum and more. We use automatic tracking of visitors’ position and movements at the museum to log visitor information. Using this information, we provide an interface that visualizes both individual and small group movement patterns, as well as aggregated information of overall visitor engagement.

متن کاملAnalysis and Prediction of Museum Visitors' Behavioral Pattern Types
Personalization in the “museum visit” scenario is extremely challenging, especially since in many cases visitors come to the museum for the first, and may be the last time in their life.
