Natural Interaction and Wearable Augmented Reality for the Enjoyment of the Cultural Heritage in Outdoor Conditions

Embodiment of Wearable Augmented Reality Technology in Tourism Experiences

“…It is hypothesized that ownership, location, and agency are distinct, but related constructs and accounted for by a common underlying higher order construct, namely technology embodiment of Google Glass. (Caggianese, Neroni, and Gallo 2014). The basic tenet is that interacting with mixed reality (i.e., merging of real world and synthetic elements) stimulates user interest and engagement during the experience, leading to enjoyment (e.g., Macvean and Riedl 2011;Sylaiou, Mania, Karoulis, and White 2010).…”

“…In the context of tourism, augmented reality is applied to assist tourists with retrieval and processing of information on points of interest (POI) in the vicinity, such as physical structures, historic and cultural objects, museum exhibits, etc., enhance their perception and cognition processes, and aid in decision making (Kounavis, Kasimani, and Zamani 2012;Yovcheva, Buhalis, and Gatzidis 2011;Yovcheva, Buhalis, Gatzidis, and van Elzakker 2014). Augmented reality applications designed to enhance experiences outdoors have been applied in national parks, heritage Page 5 sites, and recreation areas as well as tourist cities, providing augmented walking experiences for tourists (e.g., Caggianese, Neroni, and Gallo 2014;Chung, Han, and Joun 2015;Fritz, Susperregui, and Linaza 2005;Gleue and Dähne 2001;Han, Jung, and Gibson 2014;tom Dieck and Jung 2015).…”

Malicious Event Detecting in Twitter Communities

“…The number of active users of social networking services like Twitter raised up to 320 million per month in 2015. The rich knowledge that has accumulated in the social sites enables to catch the reflection of real world events [23].…”

An associative engines based approach supporting collaborative analytics in the Internet of cultural things

“…Visitors are allowed to explore only a specific set 60 of CH resources, whose mix and physical disposition is often pre-designed for conveying some cultural guidelines or specific thematic routes. The technologies for tracking visitor's behaviour include sensors, microphones, cameras, RFIDs, mobile devices, smart glasses and other wearable devices [38,39]. territorial visit: common mobile devices such as cell phones, smart phones, etc.…”
