Supporting professional guides to create personalized visit experiences

Abstract

Information and communication technologies have a great potential to enhance personal experience in cultural heritage sites. Our research in the Cultural Heritage (CH) aims to foster a wider appreciation of archaeology by offering tools able to engage the general public and to increase awareness of the importance of CH. In this paper we discuss how a generic mashup platform can be used to support the work of professional guides of CH sites, in order to support them creating personalized and engaging visit experiences.
