A Context-Aware Smart Tourist Guide Application for an Old Palace

The goal of our research is to develop a smart context-aware self guided tour assistant as a context- aware real world application. As a context-aware tourist guide application, we have been developing a PDA-based location-aware tourist guide application for the old palace Deoksugung in the center of Seoul. It will guide visitors to the palace with information about: current location, attractions nearby, and details about specific buildings. Rich multimedia support has been incorporated into the system to provide extra features to enhance the self-guided tour.
