HIPS1 is a hand-held electronic guide that adapts its behaviour to museum visitors. It uses physical movements as a main interaction modality and responds to this implicit interaction with suitable commentaries created on the fly. To achieve more involving presentations two further steps are needed: inference of visitor's emotional status and composition of emotional presentation. Investigations on how visitor behaviour is influenced by external (environment) or internal (attitude) factors and on the effect of emotional cues are currently being carried on at the University of Siena. Nevertheless, when the picture will be clear, a computational model to support emotional presentations will be needed. This paper discusses a first proposal on this more technological aspect

Abstract
HIPS1 is a hand-held electronic guide that adapts its behaviour to museum visitors. It uses physical movements as a main interaction modality and responds to this implicit interaction with suitable commentaries created on the fly. To achieve more involving presentations two further steps are needed: inference of visitor's emotional status and composition of emotional presentation. Investigations on how visitor behaviour is influenced by external (environment) or internal (attitude) factors and on the effect of emotional cues are currently being carried on at the University of Siena. Nevertheless, when the picture will be clear, a computational model to support emotional presentations will be needed. This paper discusses a first proposal on this more technological aspectI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
