Abstract

This paper provides an innovative approach for taking advantage of user’s movement data as implicit user feedback for deriving recommendations in large facilities. By means of a real-world museum scenario a beacon infrastructure for tracking sojourn times is presented. Then we show how sojourn times can be integrated in a collaborative filtering algorithm approach in order to outcome accurate recommendations.
