MapTop: Behavior as Context in a Digital Exhibition Guide

Kodama Akihiko, Michiaki Yasumura · 2006

In this paper, we describe MapTop, a system working on a mobile device, developed to support the exploration of an exhibition. When using digital exhibition guides, one po­ tential problem is that the guide system may become the fo­ cus of attention, interrupting the exploration experience. To avoid this problem, we used positioning of the mobile device as a way to infer the focus of attention and presented content information accordingly. The MapTop system is evaluated in a field trial and a user study and some of the lessons learned are discussed.
