A Mobile Guide to Explore Interconnections between Science, Art and Territory

Most Cultural Heritage mobile guides are developed using a location-based hypertext model that guides the exploration of individual itineraries. However, Cultural Heritage places are often immersed in parallel and interlaced stories about art, history and science, which might be relevant to the tourist. Therefore, we are interested in investigating the semantic connections between the narratives that involve different Point of Interests to provide tourists with interconnected views of the Cultural Heritage of a place. As a first step in this direction, we present the Triangolazioni mobile guide, which allows users to thematically explore places through the navigation of narratives, and to connect narratives to each other based on topic similarity. Triangolazioni can be accessed from mobile phone, tablet and desktop, and supports the physical and virtual exploration of Points of Interest in the area around Torino, Italy.
