1 Work performed during an internship from the College of Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology. ABSTRACT We describe an electronic guidebook prototype and report on a study of its use in a historic house. Supported by mechanisms in the guidebook, visitors constructed experiences that had a high degree of interaction with three entities: the guidebook, their companions, and the house and i...

The Electronic Guidebook research project began in 1998 at The Exploratorium, an interactive science museum in San Francisco, in partnership with researchers at HewlettPackard Labs and The Concord Consortium. The original metaphor for the Electronic Guidebook was a pocket guidebook for travelers to which personal annotations could be added. This metaphor has since expanded into a guidebook desi...

We describe an electronic guidebook prototype and report on a study of its use in a historic house. Visitors were given a choice of information delivery modes, and generally preferred audio played through speakers. In this delivery mode, visitors assigned the electronic guidebook a conversational role, e.g., it was granted turns in conversation, it introduced topics of conversation, and visitor...

Blended learning is a combination of any form of technology enhanced learning with face-to-face instructor-led training. So called guidebooks describe how self-paced learning activities can be blended with collaborative activities. This paper describes the requirements for such a guidebook based on results from a Delphi study. A draft of a possible structure for such a guidebook is suggested.

The GICHD Guidebook on Detection Technologies and Systems for Humanitarian Demining (http://www. gichd.ch/1248.0.html) presents a schematic, non-exhaustive overview of several landmine detection and area reduction sensing technologies and systems for humanitarian demining. The operating principle of each technology is presented first, followed by a schematic summary of the possible application ...

Public-transportation route-planning systems typically work as follows. The user specifies a source and a target location, as well as a departure time. The system then returns one or more optimal trips at or after that departure time. In this paper, we consider guidebook routing, where the goal is to provide timeindependent answers that are valid over long periods of time. An example answer cou...
