Augmenting a Museum Visitor's Tour with a Context Aware Framework

Abstract

We present a context awareness framework to assist a Museum visitor’s learning process by providing an enriched tour experience. We adapt the information a visitor receives about an artwork based on their interests and knowledge. We show how this is achievable by implementing a system that passively and unobtrusively gathers information using physical and virtual context. We also allow the visitor to visit virtually museums in different places while still benefiting from information adapted to their interests and knowledge.
