Abstract
There are many systems to provide sightseeing information using the Internet, but there are few systems to support the lifecycle of an historic tour. We developed an historical tour support system that provides its users with appropriate information at each phase of the tour. Our system has interesting displays such as 3D graphics and multilingual information for use before sightseeing. This system also provides on the spot information about historic sites using a cellular phone and GPS. After the tour, a user can enjoy a picture album that has been produced in the server during the sightseeing. Twelve tourists tried this system and found it useful.
