Abstract Several well-known museums and researchers have developed mobile navigation systems to improve the navigation effect. But most of those systems are lack of efficient recommendation and indoor localization function. This situation causes the difficulty for visitors to have an overview and a flexible navigating experience. In this paper, an augmented reality mobile navigation system that supports indoor localization and real-time recommendation service is proposed. It aims at providing personalized suggestions corresponded to user’s context through the analysis of interest and location information of visitors. In addition, accompanied by the augmented reality display function, this system provides diversified 3D and multimedia navigation information, so as to enrich and improve user’s navigation experience effectively.

Indoor localization



1 Introduction When visiting a museum, as most navigation services nowadays lack an accurate Indoor localization function, in large exhibition places with spatial crossing, visitors frequently find it hard to know where they are and have to shuttle back and forth among the exhibition spaces and exhibits aimlessly, which is a waste of time. Besides, as the introduction and contents about general exhibits are limited, visitors often have to interpret the connotations of the exhibits by relying on their knowl-

edge in order to self-determine the relevance between works. As a result, museum tours tend to be superficial. Over the past few years, with the prevalence of smart mobile devices and progress of positioning technologies, several well-known museums and researchers have developed mobile navigation systems to improve the navigation experience [1–4]. The Brighton Museums App provides navigation information of five museums in Brighton. In addition to providing region maps, historical pictures, special activities and the updated news about the museums [1]. The American Museum of Natural History App provides pictures and textual introduction about the exhibits by using the visitor’s location via the Wi-Fi positioning function and the navigation of the move lines inside the museum [2]. The Giuseppe Castiglione App of Taiwan’s National Palace Museum provides a rich amount of navigation information and supports a positioning function dominated by GPS and passive RFID positioning [3]. Besides, the Street Museum App rolled out by the Museum of London can superimpose the museum’s historical pictures onto the corresponding streetscapes to present a special effect of interl
