TimeMachine Oulu – Dynamic Creation of Cultural-Spatio-Temporal Models as a Mobile Service

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 2795))

Abstract

The use of architectural and historical information in a mobile environment is investigated in this paper. We have created a system for dynamic creation of spatio-temporal VRML-models for context aware clients in a mobile cultural setting. The user can interact and query objects using standard web interfaces as well interaction in the 3D environment. We perform a preliminary user evaluation for iterative design of future versions of the mobile service.
