HIPS is a project recently funded by the European Commission within the I-Cube initiative whose main aim is to study new technologies and interaction modalities that allow people to navigate both a physical space and a related information space at the same time, with a minimal gap between the two. The project envisages a portable electronic tour guide (to exhibitions, museums, archaeological sites, expositions distributed over a city, and to cities themselves) which empowers visitors to determine themselves the structure of a tour, according to their own criteria, interests and needs and which allow different information delivery modalities. The many research issues involved in HIPS include new paradigms for navigating the physical space, innovative human-computer interaction modalities, dynamic generation of adaptive information presentations, wireless support to user mobility.
