강연 제목: Tracking users of Camineo mobile guides in the Swiss National Park

강연 요약: The EU project Webpark produced a LBS for use by tourists on rented mobile devices with GPS in national parks, nature reserves, parks and open air museums. Webpark was succeeded by the spinoff Camineo SAS which is now sucessfully marketing and installing this technology at a variety of European sites. Under a User Agreement these mobile devices recorded where the visitors in the Swiss National Park actually took the device and what information requests they made on it. These requests are URLs for applications and content pages on the device and can be analysed 'by user' or 'through time and space'.

This presentation will present the architecture and design of the Camineo LBS and its functionality. Then the information requests and spatio-temporal behaviour of 500 visitors with this device will be explored in the Swiss National Park in 2006/7. Finally the implications for the design of public LBS will be discussed.
