Description

<p>In recent years, there has been a growing interest in field museums, which has led to local communities rediscovering their cultural identity, history, and ecology. However, a field museum guide system has not been researched extensively. The purpose of this study is to develop a field museum guide system by smartphone using digitalized old maps and old photographs. An evaluation of the prototype by users yielded roughly satisfactory results. As a result, we clarified the following design features of the guide system. Based on the following designs, we have developed a guide system in Field Museum of Morioka. The guide system has four functions: push-type information providing using GPS, use of old map/photograph, story-based navigation and cooperation among on-site mobile applications and Websites to visitors before/after the visit. And, the system was evaluated by viewpoint of the visitor and operator groups of the field museum. As a result, it was evaluated that the system is useful for town walking.</p>
