Abstract
Information technology research has mainly focussed on supporting
visitors with guides, whilst a lot of opportunities for the development
of technology for collecting, manipulating and re-travelling through
material from the visits remain unexplored. On the basis of observations
from a specific setting, we have developed prototype technology to
combine multimedia content with position information. In particular, we
developed mobile support to record and organise multimedia using the
walked path in order to preserve more of the experience of the visit. We
created tools to edit and store multimedia paths. Additional components
make it possible to configure a mixed-media environment to navigate a
multimedia path, using such physical interfaces as gesturing, and link
the recorded media to other artefacts. When discussing field
observations of current practices and prototype trials, we investigate
what kind of functionality is needed to support the whole activity of
collecting, manipulating and playing multimedia content in combination
with position information.
