“…Modern libraries and museums are using QR codes to connect a physical exhibit with available digital resource material, for example, signpost to maps or museum layout (Ashford, ; Walsh, ; Baker et al, ; Elmore and Stephens, ; Schultz, ; Rongbutsri et al, ). Previous reports concurred that QR codes are useful learning tools with regard to student and/or visitor motivation, collaboration, engagement and can create edutainment environment (Ceipidor et al, , ; Pérez‐Sanagustín et al, ). It was found that the key impetus for QR code use is user interactivity and perceptions (Shin et al, ).…”

In the past, medical museums played a significant role in anatomy and pathology training. The attraction of medical museums has declined recently due to the emergence of information technology and innovative medical curricula. An innovative mobile learning platform has been developed using quick response (QR) codes for the museum specimens at the Lee Kong Chain School of Medicine, Singapore. High-quality images of the potted specimens were captured and combined into an album and a video using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Windows Movie Maker, respectively. Subsequently, QR codes were generated linking to PDF documents with annotations, pathology, and clinical history concerning the specimens. Quick response codes were piloted in gastrointestinal teaching module for Year 2 medical students. Survey responses were obtained from students to verify the efficacy of QR as a learning tool. The majority of students either agreed or strongly agreed that it was easy to access the information about the specimen with QR codes (4.47 ± 0.84), while 96% of students agreed that they are able to correlate the specimen with the annotated images (4.56 ± 0.56). The majority of students (78%) agreed that QR codes are useful for their learning (4.22 ± 0.87), while 75% of students felt QR codes motivate them to visit Anatomy Resource Centre. Most of the students agreed that QR codes are useful for revision of materials (4.13 ± 1.07) and independent learning (4.38 ± 0.87). These findings suggest that QR codes are not only effective for students learning but also enhance their exploration experience with the museum specimens. Anat Sci Educ 12: 664-672.

“…The latter two technologies have a completely different impact from the point of view of perceived user experience. Authors in [4] conducted two different controlled experiments in order to examine the effects of QR codes on visitors' engagement in museum-like spaces. The first experiment compares the effects of QR codes versus traditional display screens for providing information about the exhibits.…”

“…The player can explore stories, myths and legends about Italian cultural heritage accompanied by puzzles (see Figure 4) to which s/he has to find a solution, making use of the possibility of a clue on-site and/or a clue in exchange for a penalty. The clue on-site is more generic, while that with a penalty is more eloquent than the first 4 EAI Endorsed Transactions on Serious Games 12 2016 -12 2017 | Volume 4 | Issue 14 | e3…”

Gamification has been recently proposed as a technique to improve user engagement in different activities, including visits to cultural sites and cultural tourism in general. We present the design, development and initial validation of the NEPTIS Poleis system, which consists of a mobile application and a Web interface for curators, allowing the definition, and subsequent fruition by users, of different minigames suitable for open-air assets.

“…The importance of feedbacks used to profile visitors during observations in a long period is studied in Kelly and Teevan. 16 The effect on visitors' engagement of using Quick Response codes is studied in Perez-Sanagustin et al 17 The learning user activity of an algorithm based on the descriptors representation is developed in Widyantoro et al 18 Machine-learning methodologies represent other investigation as in Domingos. 19 Accordingly with this scheme, a multimedia recommender system based on the social choice problem has been recently proposed in Albanese et al 20 In Cuomo et al, 21 a mathematical model, inspired by the biology, for modelling social network behaviours is presented.…”

Extract information from data, coming from the real world, is a very fascinating challenge. In the Internet of Things society, sensors, devices, and tools are able to generate a lot of data that could be used to predict behaviours. In this paper, we propose a computational scheme in which the clustering methodology is used to classify information that are adopted as observations of an evolutionary method. A sampling techniques are used to model the unknown of a dynamical system as a random variable, and available information are interpreted as probability density function. The probability density function is approximated by an ensemble of weighted particles. Finally, by using this methodology, we present results on the forecast and track users' behaviours in 2 real-world case studio
