The Cultural Heritage domain is a global resource able to gain more and more importance and value because it becomes research field characterized by many aspects to be studied such as its enjoyment and promotion. In this paper, we present the design and the implementation of an intelligent Internet of Things (IoT) platform supporting the Cultural Heritage domain. In details, the objective of the proposed platform is to create intelligent solutions and services to enhance the visitors' interaction with cultural objects. To perform this research task, the platform relies on ubiquitous and IoT applications that can represent a suitable solution for improving visitors' experience when inside a museum or a temporary art exhibition. The IoT paradigm applied to the Cultural Heritage domain has the main purpose to transform a static cultural space into an intelligent environment enforcing a set of proximity-based and multimedia services. To assess our methodology, we realize a real case study during an art event in Naples, Italy.

“…Although suggested improvements revolve around the addition of visual information [49], the present study is the first to look at audio guides providing a potentially challenging multisensory experience and learning situation—with voices speaking over static pictures. Crucially, this study suggests that the effects of congruency observed in short dynamic stimuli can remain effective even when longer audio-visual streams are presented without the need for fine-grain spatial or temporal congruence.…”

Voice over: Audio-visual congruency and content recall in the gallery setting

Experimental research has shown that pairs of stimuli which are congruent and assumed to ‘go together’ are recalled more effectively than an item presented in isolation. Will this multisensory memory benefit occur when stimuli are richer and longer, in an ecological setting? In the present study, we focused on an everyday situation of audio-visual learning and manipulated the relationship between audio guide tracks and viewed portraits in the galleries of the Tate Britain. By varying the gender and narrative style of the voice-over, we examined how the perceived congruency and assumed unity of the audio guide track with painted portraits affected subsequent recall. We show that tracks perceived as best matching the viewed portraits led to greater recall of both sensory and linguistic content. We provide the first evidence that manipulating crossmodal congruence and unity assumptions can effectively impact memory in a multisensory ecological setting, even in the absence of precise temporal alignment between sensory cues.

“…There is a wealth of literature on the use and design of technological devices for audio guides (e.g. Marshall et al 2016;Dickinson 2014;Lee 2017). Our study is not concerned with this and focuses solely on the content of the audio guides and its effect on the user.…”

The intimacy and affective impact of the audio guide -and the spoken voice -could make it a suitable medium to represent and construct cultural memory. Research on the relevance of the audio guide in the context of cultural memory has, to the best of our knowledge, not yet been conducted. This article will address this by presenting experimental findings on the impact of two custom-made audio guides on visitors and subsequently examining these within a theoretical framework based on Alison Landsberg's concept of prosthetic memory, as well as Gérard Genette's writings about paratexts. In doing so, the focus is on examining the emotional distances perceived between the audio guide and the object on the one hand and the audio guide and its user on the other, as well as the balance between these two. We show that a close link between object and audio guide can either help emotionally engage the user or feel restrictive. A close connection between audio guide and user may be perceived as misleading but can also involve the user in creating prosthetic memory.
