“…When an augmented reality application is intended to be used "on the go" it is clear that one situation induced disability is the difficulty looking at and attending to the screen (since you have to attend to/look at your environment in order to avoid obstacles, people etc). Not attending to your environment may even be dangerous [31]. Despite this, the bulk of mobile augmented reality applications developed rely primarily on screen-based presentations.…”

This paper reports on the in-context evaluation of an audiotactile interactive tourist guide -one test was done in a medieval city center, and the other was done at an archaeological site. The activity theory framework was used as a perspective to guide design, field-study and analysis. The evaluation shows that the guide allows users to experience an augmented reality, while keeping the environment in focus (in contrast with the common key-hole like experience that onscreen augmented reality generates). The evaluation also confirms the usefulness of extending the vibrational feedback to convey also distance information as well as directional information.

“…Another problem often occurring in visual augmented reality is the difficulty of having a smooth juxtaposition of virtual elements on the real world image. GPS, compass and other sensor inaccuracies causes the virtual parts of the image to move around in an unconvincing way [2,31].…”

This paper introduces new approaches to the educational and tourism domains of Vitoria-Gasteiz in the 16 th century. Both spheres present considerable technology breakthroughs to be used in cultural heritage conservation and preservation, as well as to engage the population in cultural knowledge through serious games. The material presented in this paper concerns the transmission of cultural heritage applied mainly to the two areas mentioned above. The game is based on a virtual model of Vitoria-Gasteiz's (Spain)Old Quarter in the 16 th century. The virtual reconstruction has been divided in two phases. The first reconstruction stage is focused on the more significant buildings of that époque, while the second is focused on a procedural software that was used for the automatic re-creation of the majority of the buildings.These paper analyzies previous studies on motivation and the value serious games have to offer for education and tourism. In relation to tourism, Virtual Reality's utility as a preservation tool derives from its potential to educate and create experiences. This allows visitors to Vitoria-Gasteiz to complement their visit and experience in a virtual way through participation in a game -'in situ' on the streets of the city.

Being able to orient in the vicinity of the home and independently go shopping or visiting a friend can become increasingly difficult when a person suffers from memory decline. The adaption of traditional navigation apps based on satellite positioning could provide an aid, but there are several questions to investigate related to the design and function of such an app. These questions include how to assist pedestrian wayfinding on an appropriate level, how to communicate the position precision and how to receive information and interact while walking. The paper reports on a study where two prototypes supporting different navigation strategies were tested in a realistic outdoor task. The results show that both prototypes led test users to the intended goal positions, and that users have different preferences how they want to be helped in wayfinding tasks, both in how detailed instructions should be and what feedback modalities they prefer.
