抄録

This paper describes a mobile science-museum-guide system using an indoor/outdoor positioning system, a pilot user study to evaluate the usability of the navigation system, and a GUI tool for reliving experiences of the participants using the activity log of the pilot user study. The prototype navigation system manages content consisting of 3-D maps, recommended routes, and Flash files to provide appropriate navigation information based on estimated user position, orientation, and their history. The pilot study was conducted at the Science Museum. We got useful feedback from participants about 3-D maps, recommended routes, etc. The reliving tool makes it possible to retrieve position histories, video, and audio data of visitors with position, orientation, time, keywords, and so on from large-scale activity log recorded by the navigation system and to present the data with synchronization. The mobile system can be applied to making analysis of visitors' behavior with realistic sensation on the spot.
