“…In this way, using the metaphor of the wheel representing a village square, the user can explore the region via the social network of the intelligent things she/he meets; users can exchange contents and stories with these things and explore the networks of their friends. Further details of this interaction metaphor can be found in [Biamino et al 2011;Chiabrando et al 2011].…”

This article introduces a framework for creating rich augmented environments based on a social web of intelligent things and people. We target outdoor environments, aiming to transform a region into a smart environment that can share its cultural heritage with people, promoting itself and its special qualities. Using the applications developed in the framework, people can interact with things, listen to the stories that these things tell them, and make their own contributions. The things are intelligent in the sense that they aggregate information provided by users and behave in a socially active way. They can autonomously establish social relationships on the basis of their properties and their interaction with users. Hence when a user gets in touch with a thing, she is also introduced to its social network consisting of other things and of users; she can navigate this network to discover and explore the world around the thing itself. Thus the system supports serendipitous navigation in a network of things and people that evolves according to the behavior of users. An innovative interaction model was defined that allows users to interact with objects in a natural, playful way using smartphones without the need for a specially created infrastructure. The framework was instantiated into a suite of applications called WantEat, in which objects from the domain of tourism and gastronomy (such as cheese wheels or bottles of wine) are taken as testimonials of the cultural roots of a region. WantEat includes an application that allows the definition and registration of things, a mobile application that allows users to interact with things, and an application that supports stakeholders in getting feedback about the things that they have registered in the system. WantEat was developed and tested in a real-world context which involved a region and gastronomy-related items from it (such as products, shops, restaurants, and recipes), through an early evaluation with stakeholders and a final evaluation with hundreds of users.

“…In addition, it is possible to explore the social network of the object (Figure 4(d)) with an innovative interaction model based on the metaphor of a wheel. This novel interface makes it possible to visualize the recognized object with some related items around it and the relationships linking them to the object in question (the description of the application interface is not the subject of this paper, for more details see [1,3]). …”

“…We implemented WantEat, a prototype application [1,3] that uses the Apple iPhone integrated camera to obtain information about products in a specific domain. The work presented here is a part of PIEMONTE Project [10], in which a Social Networking Application in the domain of gastronomy is being developed, integrating the ideas of the Social Web, Semantic Web and Augmented Reality (se also [5]).…”

Abstract. In addition to using mobile phones to access data and services on the Internet, they can also be used to retrieve information about physical objects. In this paper we present a framework and a prototype implementation of a reality browsing system that exploits mobile camera phones as access points to ontological knowledge with the corresponding physical counterparts. The use of ontologies to represent the information about the objects of the domain permits for application of reasoning and querying techniques on domain elements. Users can identify a desired product by framing its logo, obtaining further information about the object in a direct, natural and intuitive way. In addition, users can perform Web 2.0 actions on objects, contributing to the creation and development of the network of objects and users. We also provide a brief description of the implemented interface and a real world user evaluation.
