Abstract

Multimedia generation for a location-aware system has to take into account the fact that moving in a physical space and seeking for information is a cognitive as well as a psycho-motor experience. The surrounding environment attracts, distracts, provides evidence, reinforces understanding, conveys information. It plays -we propose- the role of a medium, to be deliberately allocated and coordinated with the others. In this respect, multimodality plays a key role in emphasizing the prominence of this medium and in overcoming its staticity. Reference is made to two location-aware prototypes for individualised presentation of cultural sites.
