Abstract
Museum guides present a great opportunity where the Ambient Intelligence (AmI) paradigm can be successfully applied. Together with pervasive computing, context and location awareness are the AmI features that allow users to receive customized information in a transparent way. In this sense, Real-Time Locating Systems (RTLS) can improve context-awareness in AmI-based systems. This paper presents ARTIZT, an innovative AmI-based museum guide system where a novel RTLS based on the ZigBee protocol provides highly precise users’ position information. Thus, it can be customized the content offered to the users without their explicit interaction, as well as the granularity level provided by the system.
