ABSTRACT
In this paper, we report the results from a Hybrid Wizard of Oz experiment consisting of a critical incident interview and an in-situ simulation. The study aimed at validating the need for a contextualised and personalised Point-Of-Interest (POI) recommender and understanding the detailed user needs for it. Our key findings include: feeling bored as a key trigger to search for POIs, trust issues with the existing recommendation sources, intent to find free activities, information needs on areas-of-interest beyond points-of-interest, support for socialising, and language barriers. With this study, we also exemplify a cost- and time-effective approach for design of intelligent systems.
