“…For example, HyperAudio [16] was deployed but only results of pre-design studies have been reported [19]. Similarly, Hippie [17] was deployed and received initial feedback, but the results of user evaluations are not available [18]; the same is true of Plantations Pathfinder [21]. We are aware of only two electronic guidebook studies resembling ours.…”

Abstract. We describe an electronic guidebook prototype and report on a study of its use in a historic house. Visitors were given a choice of information delivery modes, and generally preferred audio played through speakers. In this delivery mode, visitors assigned the electronic guidebook a conversational role, e.g., it was granted turns in conversation, it introduced topics of conversation, and visitors responded to it verbally. We illustrate the integration of the guidebook into natural conversation by showing that discourse with the electronic guidebook followed the conversational structure of storytelling. We also demonstrate that visitors coordinated object choice and physical positioning to ensure that the electronic guidebooks played a role in their conversations. Because the visitors integrated the electronic guidebooks in their existing conversations with their companions, they achieved social interactions with each other that were more fulfilling than those that occur with other presentation methods such as traditional headphone audio tours.

“…Over the last decade, numerous context-aware applications have been reported for use in e.g. hospitals [3,20], shops [1], museums [14,21], tourism [2,9], zoological fieldwork [22], on universities [8,15], conferences [11,10], and offices [24]. Furthermore, numerous infrastructures and application frameworks have been proposed to enable the easy development of context-aware applications, each having different technological approaches and application focuses.…”

Abstract. Context-aware computing is a central concept in ubiquitous computing and many suggestions for context-aware technologies and applications have been proposed. There is, however, little evidence on how these concepts and technologies play out in a real-world setting. In this paper we describe and discuss our experiences from an ongoing deployment of a suite of context-aware technologies and applications in a hospital environment, including a context-awareness infrastructure, a location tracking system, and two context-aware applications running on interactive wall displays and mobile phones. Based on an analysis of the use of these systems, we observe that many of the ideas behind context-aware computing are valid, and that the context-aware applications are useful for clinicians in their work. By reflecting on the nature of the designed context-aware technologies, we present a model which states that the triggering of context-awareness actions depend upon the accuracy of the sensed context information, the degree to which you know which action to perform in a given situation, and the consequence of performing the action.

“…The early European HIPS projects that run from 1998 to 2000, made also use of the IR technology. The position of the visitor was calculated through the combination of infrared and electronic compass data, then sent to a central server that pushed the appropriate information on the visitors' terminal [4]. In the LISTEN project [9] the goal was to explore immersion in audio augmented environments by overlaying a virtual soundscape to the real environment users are exploring.…”

Abstract. Technical museums are goods targets for experimenting with sound immersion and soundscape authoring. This paper presents an immersive sound system emitting audio content. Experimentations were conducted with a wired, proof-of-concept prototype and two wireless devices. Our system takes into consideration the position of museum visitors as well as their orientation and visual vector. In contrast with other approaches, tracking and rendering are executed locally and in real-time by the visitor's device.
