Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) computing applied to the Cultural Heritage domain is an emerging discipline which consists of the application of intelligent sensors and technologies within cultural sites; it is strongly related to the development of systems able to be pervasive and ubiquitous with the definitive goal of rethinking such spaces. IoT paradigm can constitute a powerful tool to enhance people fruition and enjoyment of such spaces; thanks to ICT technologies, a cultural object can be effectively “dressed” of its context and juxtaposed into it. In this paper, an intelligent IoT system, designed with the aim of improving user experience and knowledge diffusion within a cultural space, is presented. The paper describes the hardware/software system components, and presents a case study of a sculptures exhibition named the Beauty or the Truth (http://www.ilbellooilvero.it) in Naples where the system was deployed. Furthermore, the paper provides the results of an users behaviour analysis which revealed up a significant increase in user satisfaction and cultural knowledge diffusion.
