SemperExploratorium，San弗朗西斯科，CA "I-Guide项目：使用便携式设备、无线网络和Web技术扩展博物馆体验"这个多学科信息技术研究项目涉及旧金山弗朗西斯科和惠普实验室之间的合作，涉及计算研究的几个领域，包括无处不在或普适计算、上下文感知计算、增强真实的世界，人机交互和计算机支持的协同工作。这个项目的目标是获得更深入的了解，并传播知识，如何使用无处不在的计算基础设施，可以增加学习期间和之后访问一个互动的科学中心。该项目集中在三个研究领域：1。创建一个功能的无线游牧计算基础设施和在线个性化交付系统，以获得有关游牧技术如何配置为支持在复杂环境中学习的知识，在复杂环境中，用户的注意力有多个竞争性约束，2。开发一个教学设计框架，用于创建学习，教学和社区建设资源，能够使用该系统在多种设备上交付，以探索哪些在线信息资源可以更好地促进学习者的兴趣，持续科学学习，提高科学理解和3。研究探索这些资源对学习者使用博物馆的影响，以确定物理访问活动和访问后的在线活动，可以支持个性化的网络体验之间的关系。该项目涉及1。为10个博物馆展品设计和实施信息点（pi站）和数据网络，2。设计和实施独立的信息亭访问基于Web的内容在访问期间（为游客谁不携带无线手持设备），3。设计并实现了一个动态的、个性化的基于Web的服务器系统，供访问者现场（无线）和远程（有线）访问。为作为一个组的展览和每个展览开发基于Web的内容，包括动态的、可定制的文本、音频和视频内容以及交互式讨论组/公告板功能的混合。对300名个人和小组学习者的系统效用进行了研究，6。创建用户触发的方法，用于捕获用户体验以扩展访问者参与度，以及7.泛在学习与辅导系统之使用者模型与教学设计架构之发展。该项目的总部设在多媒体探索学习工作室，其中包括项目工作人员从事项目设计和执行以及研究的设施。

0205664Robert J. SemperExploratorium, San Francisco, CA"The I-Guide Project: Extending Museum Experience Using Portable Devices, Wireless Networks, and Web Technology"This multidisciplinary Information Technology Research project, involving a collaboration between the San Francisco Exploratorium and Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, addresses several areas of computing research, including ubiquitous or pervasive computing, context-aware computing, augmentation of the real world, human-computer interaction and computer-supported cooperative work. The goal of this project is to gain a deeper understanding and to disseminate knowledge about how the use of a ubiquitous computing infrastructure may augment learning both during and after a visit to an interactive science center. The project focuses on three research domains: 1. The creation of a functional wireless nomadic computing infrastructure and on-line personalized delivery system to gain knowledge about how nomadic technologies can be configured to support learning in a complex setting in which there are multiple, competing constraints for a user's attention, 2. The development of an instructional design framework for creating learning, teaching and community-building resources capable of delivery on multiple devices using this system in order to explore which on-line information resources can better promote learner interests, sustain science learning, and improve science understanding and 3. Studies that explore the impact of these resources on the learner's use of the museum to determine the relationship between physical visit activities and post-visit on-line activities that can be supported by a personalized network experience. The project involves 1. The design and implementation of points of information (pi stations) and a data network for 10 museum exhibits, 2. The design and implementation of free standing kiosks for accessing Web-based content during the visit (for visitors who do not carry a wireless handheld device), 3. The design and implementation a dynamic, personalized Web-based server system for on-site (wireless) and remote (wired) access by visitors, 4. The develop of Web-based content for the exhibits as a group and for each exhibit, including a mixture of dynamically, customizable text, audio, and visual content and interactive discussion-group/bulletin board functions, 5. Research on the utility of the system with 300 individual and small groups of learners, 6. The creation of a user-triggered method for capturing user experience for extending visitor engagement, and 7. The develop of a user model and instructional design framework for ubiquitous learning and guidance systems. The project is headquartered in the multimedia Exploratorium Learning Studio which includes facilities for project staff to engage in project design and implementation as well as research studies.
