Abstract

This paper reports a study to improve users' experiences in a visitor centre by incorporating a mobile scanning visual recognition system, called Artcodes. A prototype mobile treasure hunt guide was developed and evaluated by means of a field study comparing this technology with the existing personal guided tour. The results reveal a preference for the mobile guide among participants and show significant learning gains from pre-test to post-test compared with the existing personal tour.
