Abstract :
In this paper we report a set of results extracted from our experience in using PDAs and 3G multimedia cellular phones in Cultural Heritage (CH) through projects covering an activity spanning 10 years. In particular, we focus on a interesting variant of context-awareness, namely attention-awareness, derived from our more recent ICT European project, named Agamemnon. Such concepts are essential to the development of next generation mobile applications in cultural heritage and in other comparable fields. We present an experiment tackling this new issue by exploiting image recognition technology and we deeply analyze advantages and drawbacks of this approach, showing some preliminary results.
