“…We tracked both the system usage and the people behavior while searching for information, and we observed that the traditional point-and-click interaction mode was largely the most used one, with a ratio of 100:1 over the personal interface (see [40] for more detailed reports for the 2011 deployment -results of 2012 edition are not yet published, but the ratio raised to 1,000:1). This was mainly due to the main goal of the system, set up according to the visitors needs: to quickly find the preferred item or producer, and locate it on the map with respect to their own position.…”

More than one billion smartphone users are estimated by 2014. With this in mind, visiting cultural heritage sites and exhibits may offer new level of engagement and entertainment just reaching down in our pockets. With orders of magnitude more computational horsepower than a five years-old desktop machine, stuffed with all sorts of sensors, these modern gizmos have a largely untapped potential to gain us access to personalized and on-demand information wherever it is needed. This paper is exactly about this, exploring with several case studies how these devices may become part of a memorable experience during a visit that one may want to share with friends and relatives. Specifically, the paper will focus on the definition of the user-experience (UX), on integration issues, and on context detection within augmented environments in cultural heritage sites, along with a discussion on the lessons learnt.Mobile access; context based information; cultural heritage fruition.

“…In some of our previous works, we have been involved in the implementation of information provisioning systems for large fairs [40]. Such systems are similar to those aimed at the cultural heritage sites fruition, except for the contents, of course: same features, same users behavior, same issues.…”

“…The Digital Diorama [55] is a Mixed Reality (MR) system applied to museums focusing on rendering more features than existing dioramas in museum exhibitions, by prefetching background information. The work in [56] aims to enrich visitors' experiences in museum exhibitions by introducing a multichannel information system. The work in [57] introduces a virtual informal education system for the well-known ancient illustration of "Qing-ming Festival by the Riverside", by using VR technology to generate a wide, captivating, and responsive virtual environment.…”

Advancements in cultural informatics have significantly influenced the way we perceive, analyze, communicate and understand culture. New data sources, such as social media, digitized cultural content, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, have allowed us to enrich and customize the cultural experience, but at the same time have created an avalanche of new data that needs to be stored and appropriately managed in order to be of value. Although data management plays a central role in driving forward the cultural heritage domain, the solutions applied so far are fragmented, physically distributed, require specialized IT knowledge to deploy, and entail significant IT experience to operate even for trivial tasks. In this work, we present Hydria, an online data lake that allows users without any IT background to harvest, store, organize, analyze and share heterogeneous, multi-faceted cultural heritage data. Hydria provides a zero-administration, zero-cost, integrated framework that enables researchers, museum curators and other stakeholders within the cultural heritage domain to easily (i) deploy data acquisition services (like social media scrapers, focused web crawlers, dataset imports, questionnaire forms), (ii) design and manage versatile customizable data stores, (iii) share whole datasets or horizontal/vertical data shards with other stakeholders, (iv) search, filter and analyze data via an expressive yet simple-to-use graphical query engine and visualization tools, and (v) perform user management and access control operations on the stored data. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first solution in the literature that focuses on collecting, managing, analyzing, and sharing diverse, multi-faceted data in the cultural heritage domain and targets users without an IT background.

“…II.1 SMARTPHONE APPLICATIONS Nowadays, interaction among humans is more and more mediated by some device, mostly smartphones, that can be considered the easiest way to access any available pervasive service [9] [10] [11]. Smartphones are devices eligible to offer memory support features, because of their hardware and software features and because they are always within easy reach of the user.…”

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the state of the art in the field of memory support systems.In particular, this analysis is focalized on systems supporting prospective memory, which is the form of memory that reminds an individual to perform a planned action or intention that, for some reason, can't be performed in the moment in which is formulated, but must be postponed to a further moment.
