“…We can single out three main aspects: multimodality, character-based mediation, and adaptivity. Multimodality characterizes most of the applications developed for the field of cultural heritage Solon et al 2004;Stock and Zancanaro 2005). Our approach does not push forward the notion of multimodality, although it includes multimodal input, with implicit and explicit input forms (Kobsa et al 2001), and output, with sound, graphical visualizations introduced by Carletto, and textual feedback on the location detection.…”

In this paper, we present an application for character-based guided tours on mobile devices. The application is based on the Dramatour methodology for information presentation, which incorporates a dramatic attitude in character-based presentations. The application has been developed for a historical site and is based on a virtual character, "Carletto", a spider with an anthropomorphic aspect, who engages in a dramatized presentation of the site. Content items are delivered in a location-aware fashion, relying on a wireless network infrastructure, with visitors who can stroll freely. The selection of contents keeps track of user location and of the interaction history, in order to deliver the appropriate type and quantity of informative items, and to manage the given/new distinction in discourse. The communicative strategy of the character is designed to keep it believable along the interaction with the user, while enforcing dramatization effects. The design of the communicative strategy relies on

Global positioning systems have enabled the accurate measurement of very large distance and in conjunction with ubiquitous Wi-Fi hotspots have enabled the widespread adoption of location-based tourism application which utilise online mapping services to provide users with accurate directions. This paper documents an ‘E-Local Advisor’ application which provides street maps, directions and location of local services. The application works by receiving signals from the GPS service which interact with online mapping services that are accessed through outdoor Wi-Fi hotspots. Tourists can locate places of interest, find out where they are and query the system for exact directions from one location to another.

The Dramasearch project imports the Dramatour methodology for character-based guided tours into interactive search applications for web sites and data repositories. The virtual character acts as a mediator between the user and the search engine, without replacing but complementing the role of the search engine. The character interacts with the user through a multimodal interface, with the aim of assisting the user to formulate her/his query in an effective way, presenting her/him the results and recommending related resources. In this paper, we describe an architecture for charactermediated search applications. In particular, we describe the process of dramatizing the interaction with the user, a feature that is required to qualify the character as a cooperative agent, and we show how the domain expertise of the character, embedded in the architecture as a semantic search layer, is exploited to construct the coherence of the interaction.
