“…In the first case (digital design), a map is used as a reference to define the relevant locations and contents but users are not physically located there. For example, [10] and [12] approaches provide authoring tools that use maps to define relevant locations (and its associated content). In the second case (physical design), the user is physically located in the place where the relevant locations and contents will be defined.…”

In this paper, we present an approach to create location-aware experiences. We use the concept of separation of concerns to represent the content layer and the location layer. This separation allows reusing the layers independently one of each other. The focus of this paper is to provide an end-user tool to create location-aware applications in-situ. By using our tool, the location-aware experiences can be defined in both indoor and outdoor spaces. We present an example of how our tool is used and we describe some discussion points that have occurred to us while defining a tool with these characteristics.

“…In particular, location-aware applications can be defined by developers (e.g. [8], [10]) or by end-user ( [13] and [15]). In both cases, according to what was mentioned before, the final mobile application is required to be tested in-situ to obtain real evaluation results.…”

In this paper we present a model to define location-aware experiences having its different aspects (contents, location, etc) decoupled one from another. We have created an application following this model, which is also combined with actors' performances. This application defines three relevant locations inside a specific building. By reading a QR-code the user indicates that he/she has arrived at one of those locations. In that moment, the application triggers some questions related to the actors' performances. Hence, the user is required to see all the plays in order to be able to answer such questions. The application assists the user in moving throughout the different locations. We present the evaluation of this application and then we discuss interesting aspects that have shown up as a result of the in-situ evaluation of this application.

This chapter investigates the research projects and prototypes related to currently available mobile applications used in wayfinding and navigation. The advancement in small-screen devices, mobile computing and modelling counterpart, location awareness techniques, and wireless technologies have improved screen resolutions and provided technical solutions for delivering textual, 2D, and 3D information to a mobile device. After investigating small-screen representations and the related navigation content and mobile interface design from the previous cases, two suggestions are presented in this chapter in order to enhance the design for future mobile wayfinding systems: 1) pseudo-3D representations and 2) personalised and on-demand services.
