C-MAP: Building a Context-Aware Mobile Assistant for Exhibition Tours

Abstract:This paper presents the objectives and progress of the Context-aware Mobile Assistant Project (C-MAP). The C-MAP is an attempt to build a personal mobile assistant that provides visitors touring exhibitions with information based on their location and individual interests. We prototyped the first version of the mobile assistant by using an open house exhibition of our research laboratory for a testbed. A personal guide agent with a life-like animated character residing in the mobile assistant directs users with exhibition maps that are personalized depending on the user's physical and mental contexts.
