Mobile applications for helping users to keep track of their travel experience

Published: 28 August 2007 Publication History

Abstract

Motivation -- This research work aims to exploit the opportunity of Tangible User Interface for improving recollection of memories using personal objects.
Research approach -- The project follows an approach which integrates two different perspectives: user-centred and technology-oriented. They take place in parallel informing each other during the process.
Findings/Design -- Connection of digital resources with physical objects while travelling improves the recollection of travel experiences and the sharing of these memories.
Research limitations/Implications -- Findings have not yet been applied to a more complex scenario in which many users interact with the system and exchange information while travelling.
Originality/Value -- This work contributes to the research on Tangible User Interface and on mobile technology for tourism.
