“…The automatic generation of mobile applications is a growing research area. Several proposals have been oriented towards end-user development exploiting service composition for general application [1,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12] and mobile application generators for specific domains, including health and tourism/culture [13,14].…”

Mobile devices can be exploited for enabling people to interact with Internet of Things (IoT) services. The MicroApp Generator [1] is a service-composition tool for supporting the generation of mobile applications directly on the mobile device. The user interacts with the generated app by using the traditional touch-based interaction. This kind of interaction often is not suitable for elderly and special needs people that cannot see or touch the screen. In this paper, we extend the MicroApp Generator with an interaction approach enabling a user to interact with the generated app only by using his voice, which can be very useful to let special needs people live at home. To this aim, once the mobile app has been generated and executed, the system analyses and describes the user interface, listens to the user speech and performs the associated actions. A preliminary analysis has been conducted to assess the user experience of the proposed approach by a sample composed of elderly users by using a questionnaire as a research instrument.

“…Mortara et al (2014) and Malegiannaki & Daradoumis (2017) reviewed serious games in the cultural sector and they identified and discussed the most significant challenges in the design and adoption of educational games in cultural heritage. Appification has also encouraged the proliferation of serious game Apps for cultural heritage (Sakkopoulos et al, 2015). Appification describes the rapidly widening shift from Web browsing to the usage of smart-phone Apps for Internet-based information access and e-services consumption (Kosner, 2012).…”

The current study presents an adaptable light game engine, which is used to produce interactive educational settings focused on cultural heritage. The tool is implemented using inexpensive and open source technologies. In this paper we first discuss the architecture of the application and we then present two games developed by using the proposed engine. The produced games are multi-user and support the collaboration and communication among learners and among learners and instructors. Learners earn marks, badges and certificates as they study the material and complete the quizzes. Various evaluation experiments have been realized to understand the suitability of the produced content in educational activities. The evaluation results of the authentic educational actions were quite positive and supportive by both students and teachers.

“…In addition, the tourism experience is also influenced by souvenirs. Souvenirs are an essential part of creating a memorable sensory experience with tourist engagement [3]. Souvenir shopping is considered essential because it will bring revenue source [4] and enhance the destination's attractiveness [4].…”

“…The example could be found in some museums, which allow the tourists to take a picture in a special booth while the picture will be delivered personally by email. One digital souvenir study in Greece shows the transformation of a museum App into an e-souvenir to share with family and friends after visits [3]. Also, digital souvenirs could be customized to make them feel more personal.…”

Collecting the Memories: The Potential of Augmented Reality Souvenirs in Agro-Tourism

Souvenirs are an essential artifact in tourism because tourists want to keep a memory of the places they visit. Despite the enormous variation in souvenirs, there are no decent souvenirs for agro-tourism in Indonesia. Agro-tourism allows tourists to experience the natural beauty of landscapes and to be exposed to farming products, making the agricultural products the souvenirs themselves. Some Indonesian agro-tourism provides undifferentiated souvenirs like keychains or T-shirts that exhibit the place’s logo, which we perceive as an opportunity to develop a novel design of souvenir. Our previous study about augmented reality products in agro-tourism delivered good outcomes but needs further research. This article explored the potential of developing agro-tourism souvenirs with technology to engage tourist enthusiasm with augmented reality. The researchers conducted literature studies, interviews and product testings to answer the main research question: “What is the tourist attitude towards augmented reality souvenirs in Indonesian agro-tourism?”. The findings during the prototype trial indicated that augmented reality souvenirs could escalate tourism experiences. However, we found there was a problem in human-computer interaction: some of the target audience’s tools cannot support the technology. Although the immersive sensation from augmented reality souvenirs potentially enhances the tourist experience, future studies about the effectiveness of its more extended implementation are necessary.
