Abstract:
The paper describes a nomadic guide that considers the context of use (CoU) for information selection and presentation. A nomadic system is de- fined by continuous access to information spaces independent from specific de- vices. The CoU is defined by the location and characteristics of the user. Inter- ests of the user deduced from the navigation in the physical and information space are the main goal of information adaptation in the paper. A prototype of a nomadic system that adapts the information to the user needs is presented.
The prototype Hippie was developed by GMD within the project Hyperinteraction within Physical spaces (HIPS), an EU-supported LTR project in ESPRIT I3. The partners of the consortium are University of Siena (co-ordinating partner), University of Edinburgh, University College Dublin, ITC, SINTEF and GMD, CB&J, and Alcatel. Within the consortium, GMD is responsible for the user modelling component. A concerted prototype has been developed for the Museo Civico in Siena.
