Abstract

We present a study on the use of the Microsoft Kinect (Kinect) to implement interactive urban environments that integrate smart tourism and smart learning. The tests were carried out on a prototype containing a set of apps whose navigation was inspired by smart phones and tablets navigation. The results show that the quality of the interaction and of the overall user experience is already mature to allow for implementations in real-world settings.
