Unified Context-Aware Augmented Reality Application Framework for User-Driven Tour Guides

Abstract

We propose a unified context-aware augmented reality application framework that supports intelligent guidance and enables users to participate in content generation in museum guidance. It helps a user find personal interesting artifacts in art galleries by exploiting context-based behavior generation. The framework also enables them to combine augmented contents with different information to change the shape of content according to their preferences. Furthermore, it allows the users to label real objects for attaching new contents over the objects. Through demonstration in an art gallery, we found that the resulting system effectively guided users to visit and enabled them to participate in tour guidance.
