“…In particular, HCI has focused on the development of toolkits aimed to design, for example, augmented reality tools [16], location-based multimedia guides [6], and tangible interactive technologies [22]. However, the focus has been on the usability of these toolkits [6] or on how they are used to construct narratives outside of the context of the museum [16]. The design of such toolkits is no longer done by researchers only; the emergence of commercially available toolkits, such as OpenExhibits [21] for creating multi-touch, multi-user tabletop devices and Tap/TourML [26] for creating virtual tours, increase the opportunities for CHPs to take control of the design of interactive technologies.…”

Increasingly, cultural heritage professionals (CHPs) (including curators, museum directors, and education officers) are becoming more involved in designing interactive technologies. Specifically, growing access to and availability of digital technology enables CHPs, who may have limited experience with interactive technologies, to create content for and integrate these technologies into their museums. With these developments, there is a growing importance in investigating how CHPs build understandings of these tools in context; this is particularly since curators aim to learn how those tools can support their audiences. In this paper, we highlight how CHPs formed understandings for integrating an interactive tool to support an intended visitor experience into the museum environment through experimentation. Inspired by lessons learned, we propose design recommendations for interaction designers and HCI experts in designing tools and resources that support CHPs to experiment with various ways these technologies could service their interpretation goals.

Context-aware mobile applications can adapt their information and functionalities according to the users' needs. The required personalization layer is usually implemented by programmers due to the complex processes that are involved. An important trend in software development is that more and more applications are being written not only by programmers but also by people with expertise in other domains. Since most of the existing context-aware development toolkits are designed for programmers, non-technical users cannot implement these kinds of applications. This article presents a web-based platform to ease the development of context-aware mobile applications by non-technical end-users. The architecture and implementation details of the system are presented and the evaluation of the platform by non-programmers is discussed.

“…In general, the main domains of desktop EUD environments targeting context-sensitive applications were tourism and virtual guides. Contributions range from support for a set of template applications for tourism [7] [8], domain-related content management to support guided tours [8] [7] [9], collaboration of different stakeholders [9], up to an EUD environment where the context is enriched through addition of calendar events; and EUD where the environment uses concepts such as: event-based rules, or workflow rules [10].…”

Abstract. Despite the widespread usage of mobile devices there is a lack of environments able to allow end users to create applications directly in such devices. In this paper, we present the Puzzle framework, which supports a visual environment for opportunistically creating mobile applications in touchbased mobile phones. The user interface is designed to be usable for mobile users that do not use programming languages in their daily work as well as to motivate end users to playfully experiment and create applications. In particular, we report on its user interface, framework and evaluation.
