Where Information Searches for You: The Visible Past Ubiquitous Knowledge Environment for Digital Humanities

— Visible Past proposes a new class of interdisciplinary learning, documenting, knowledge production, and discovery experiences that are anchored in space and time indicators. The project is supported by a ubiquitous computing platform with wiki, implicit social networking, and location aware capabilities. The environment can be used as an integrated framework for enhancing learning and research in social sciences and humanities. Its main benefit would be involving the student, the researcher, and/or the museum visitor in mobile interactive experiences which rely on social networking around common topics or spaces. Keywords-location-aware; 3d; learning; wiki; ubiquitous computing (key words)
