Abstract
Location-based applications (LBAs) capture the user’s physical location via satellite navigation sensors and integrate it as part of the digital application. Because of this connection, the real-world environment needs to be accounted for in LBA design. In this work, we focused on creating a database of geographically distributed points of interest (PoIs) that is optimal for learning local history. First, we conducted a requirements elicitation study at three outdoor archaeological sites and identified issues in existing solutions. Second, we designed a multi-layered prototype solution. Third, we evaluated the solution with nine experts who had prior experience with LBAs or similar systems. We incorporated their feedback to our design to iteratively improve it. As a whole, our work contributes to the LBA design literature by proposing a solution that is optimized for the learning of local history.
Highlights
IntroductionThis has enabled location-based applications (LBAs) to become popular and widely used [1]
Today, satellite navigation sensors are ubiquitously embedded in smartphones
In the design requirements elicitation part of this work, we focus on three archaeological sites located in the country of Israel: Tel Hazor, Tel Megiddo, and Tel Gezer
Summary
This has enabled location-based applications (LBAs) to become popular and widely used [1]. These applications link the user’s geographical location to the digital world. Examples of popular LBAs include navigation software (e.g., HERE drive, Google Maps, Navman) and games, such as Pokémon GO and Orna. Because LBAs provide a digital 2D representation of real world geography, they can be transformed into augmented reality (AR) applications by including fictional things to the map interface [2,3]. The location-based game Pokémon GO, interprets real buildings as part of the game world but superimposes fictional creatures in the map interface [4]
