Hidden Florence: Geo-located historical walks in a context-aware environment.

“隐藏的佛罗伦萨”项目通过智能手机应用程序在现场提供音频行走，为这座历史名城的非学术观众提供服务。该项目由研究人员和画廊专业人士组成的国际团队交付，他们关注意大利早期现代城市公共空间的生活体验和物质文化，并通过创新和引人入胜的媒介来呈现。我们将合作创建一个地理历史城市指南智能手机应用程序（适用于Android和iOS设备），通过该应用程序，地点，运动，意义和与最终用户的互动问题被置于研究过程和最终用户体验的核心。“隐藏的佛罗伦萨”项目开发并创造了新的价值，该项目由PI资助，探索了早期现代公共空间的日常体验，包括酒馆、当地人和街角：社区饮酒、监管和公共空间的跨时间研究（AH/J006610/1）和街头生活和街头文化研究网络（AH/G000417/1）。它极大地发展了ahrc资助的试点项目——佛罗伦萨街头生活复兴项目（AH/ k005138 / 1,2013）与博物馆和旅游部门合作的影响、覆盖面和意想不到的潜力。这获得了更多的大学和高等金融学院的资助，导致了一个原型应用程序的创建，隐藏的佛罗伦萨（见：www.hiddenflorence.org）于2014年7月发布，并引起了学术界同行的极大关注。目前的提案旨在通过开发一种研究方法和在研讨会驱动的活动背景下协作创建的产出来测试其可扩展性。该项目汇集了一个应用于早期现代佛罗伦萨的数字人文学科的学者团队，其中包括多伦多大学DECIMA（数字编码人口普查信息和地图档案）研究团队主任国际CoI教授Nicholas Terpstra，以及CoI博士Donal Cooper（剑桥大学），他与国家美术馆合作（2014年）领导了San Pier Maggiore项目的3D可视化。这为初步合作提供了一个宝贵的机会，迄今为止仍是非正式的，我们预计将通过英国和加拿大的其他资助申请向前推进（见Terpstra的附件）。重要的是，我们还将与一组项目合作伙伴密切合作，包括佛罗伦萨市联合国教科文组织世界遗产办公室、托斯卡纳Polo博物馆（管理该市许多博物馆的国家机构）和伦敦国家美术馆，共同创造面向公众的产出（应用程序和支持网站），将画廊收藏的艺术作品联系起来，并为这个游客众多的城市传达联合国教科文组织的政策。因此，团队和项目合作伙伴将学术研究人员、画廊和遗产专家以及政策制定者结合在一起，以创造面向公众的产出，面向当地居民、游客和学生的观众。我们将与Calvium （http://calvium.com/）合作，该公司是基于地理位置的应用程序用户体验设计的行业领导者，他们将创建一个编辑平台，在这个平台上构建应用程序。该应用程序将在AppStore和GooglePlay网站上免费提供，并通过我们项目合作伙伴的广泛网络进行推广，同时得到我们大学新闻办公室的支持。该项目为学术界和博物馆专业人士之间的国际研究和开发合作提供了一个重要的机会，旨在为广大公众提供数字输出。结合由Calvium支持的最先进的产品设计和基于研究的内容，以位置媒体增强现实体验的形式交付，该项目采用数字人文方法，以达到影响和参与的目的。

The Hidden Florence project addresses a non-academic audience of visitors to the historic city through the medium of audio-walks delivered on site through smartphone apps. The project is delivered by an international team of researchers and gallery professionals concerned with the lived experience and material culture of public space in early modern cities in Italy, presenting this through an innovative and engaging medium. We will work collaboratively to create a locative history city-guide smartphone app (for Android and iOS devices), through which issues of place, movement, meaning, and interaction with end users are placed at the heart of the research process and the end-user experience. The Hidden Florence project develops and creates new value from AHRC-funded work by PI that explored the everyday experience of early modern public space, including Taverns, Locals and Street Corners: Cross-Chronological Studies in Community Drinking, Regulation and Public Space (AH/J006610/1) and the Street Life and Street Culture research network (AH/G000417/1). It significantly develops the impact, reach and unanticipated potentialities for engagement with the museum and tourism sector of the AHRC-funded pilot project, Street Life Renaissance Florence (AH/K005138/1, 2013). This received additional university and HEIF funding, leading to the creation of a prototype app, Hidden Florence (see: www.hiddenflorence.org) published in July 2014, and has attracted considerable attention among the academic peer community. The current proposal sets out to test its scalability by developing a research methodology and collaboratively-created outputs developed in the context of workshop-driven activities. The project assembles a team academics working in digital humanities applied to early modern Florence, including an international CoI Prof Nicholas Terpstra, director of the DECIMA (Digitally Encoded Census Information and Mapping Archive) research team at the University of Toronto, and CoI Dr Donal Cooper (University of Cambridge) who led a 3D visualisation of San Pier Maggiore project in collaboration with the National Gallery (2014). This offers a valuable opportunity for initial collaboration, which has to date remained informal, and we anticipate will be taken forward through other grant applications in UK and Canada (see Terpstra's attached letter). Importantly, we will also work closely with a group of project partners, including the city of Florence UNESCO world heritage office, the Polo Museale della Toscana (the state agency that manages many of the city's museums) and the National Gallery (London), to co-create public-facing outputs (app and supporting website) that connect with art works in gallery collections and address UNESCO policies for this much-visited city. The team and project partners thus combine academic researchers, gallery and heritage professionals and policy-makers in order to create public-facing outputs that address audiences of local residents, tourists, as well as students. We will be working with Calvium (http://calvium.com/) - industry leaders in user-experience design for placemaking location-based apps - to create the editing platform within which to build the app. The app will be made available freely on the AppStore and GooglePlay sites, and promoted through the extensive networks of our project partners, as well as with the support of our university press offices.The project offers a significant opportunity for international research and development collaboration between academics and museum professionals in the context of digital outputs aimed at a wide public of users. Combining state of the art product design supported by Calvium and research-based content, delivered in the form of a locative media augmented reality experience, the project adopts digital humanities approaches for the purposes of impact and engagement.
