Research
cooperation with HP Italia:
Project of an Intelligent
Museum
We envision a scenario in which a user can move around
museum rooms with a personal device (cellular phone
or PDA) and download information related to paintings,
sculptures and other pieces of art close to the user
(location awareness). The user will have different ways
to handle information concerning the exposed objects.
For example, a vast amount of text, images, multimedia
material (audio and video) related to the collections
may be available from the museum information gateway.
Instead of just supporting user controlled navigation
in the available information (e.g., in hypertext format)
we will enable a natural and interactive user experience
such as 3D virtual object manipulation and virtual walking
through ancient sites (natural HCI). Moreover we will
allow dynamic and flexible association of user sessions
to different input and output devices (for instance,
different visualization windows will be available to
the user, depending on her location in the museum).
