Communicating user's focus of attention by image processing as input for a mobile museum guide

The paper presents a first prototype of a handheld museum guide delivering contextualized information based on the recognition of drawing details selected by the user through the guide camera. The resulting interaction modality has been analyzed and compared to previous approaches. Finally, alternative, more scalable, solutions are presented that preserve the most interesting features of the system described. Categories and Subject Descriptors
