Gaming and guiding system for Museum and Exhibition Environments (EXPLORE)

Objective

The objective of this project is to develop a location-sensitive, interactive, guiding, infotainment, and entertaining system for museum environments. The positioning is based on Bluetooth technology and the terminal device used is the visitors own mobile phone. This system is scalable to various sizes of museums and exhibitions and it can be built on various data management platforms. The social objectives are to raise attendance and attractiveness of museums and cultural exhibitions, especially among the youngsters in a competition against other entertainment services and also offering multi-lingual experience thus offering better service for foreign exhibition visitors on the other hand. This system enables the networking of European museums through Internet and thus emphasising the communal aspects between European countries as well as between individuals visiting exhibition at same time. The partners of this project are NitroFx Oy as a coordinator and as a specialist of graphics design, Ul design, and mobile client software design. Profium Oy is providing the content management and distribution platform know-how. Less wire ag and VTT are specialized as Bluetooth infrastructure and Bluetooth positioning experts. Fraunhofer Gesellschaft provides context awareness, semantic ontology, and visitor profiling know-how. The entertainment, infotainment, and gaming system is developed as a cooperation with VTT and NitroFx Oy.
