چکیده

Recent technological advances have led to novel interactive software environments for edutainment, such as museum applications. These environments provide new interaction techniques for guiding visitors and improving their learning experience.

Various types of game are supported in addition to the museum and artwork descriptions, including games involving multiple visitors.
