Paper Abstract:
|
Increasingly, citizens in developed countries have mobile access to various information sources. One application area that
has attracted a lot of attention in recent years is tourism. Tourists by definition are on the move, i.e. mobile, and the
features of advanced mobile ICT (e.g. personalization, localization, interactivity and context-awareness) suit admirably
for delivering the sort of relevant and timely content that cultural heritage tourists demand. This paper presents a research
and development project in which we focus on the potential of ICT to provide relevant services for cultural heritage
tourists. The main goals of the project are the creation of a shared, one-stop digital repository of cultural artifacts and
services, and the design and study of mobile applications and services for cultural heritage tourists in the region of Turku,
Finland. |
