Supporting the fast prototyping of personalised narratives for tangible interaction in cultural heritage

Our research combines personalisation and tangible interaction to support visitors of cultural heritage sites. It is a complex setting of technology, people, objects and content all affecting each other and changing the final rendering and ultimately the visitor's experience. We present a completely open architecture for the fast prototyping of such personalised experiences tuned to the physical context. We used it to test personalisation applied to different types of tangible interaction, i.e. a soundscape controlled via physical movements and the a book like device or a haptic device that leads to personal destinations.
