Abstract:Technology-supported indoor navigation is not easy; there are many technological challenges as well as UI challenges that need to be addressed. A set of user interface guidelines for designing a navigation system in a CH setting has been developed based on our experience and current best practices. In this paper, we describe an implementation of our guidelines in an indoor navigation system that supports visitors in a cultural Heritage (CH) setting. The system was developed to provide a user-friendly tool for route navigation, based on photo landmarks. Maps, landmarks and contextual information are used in order to navigate. In addition the system supports visitors who meander off the path while navigating.
