Collaborative Virtual Travel Experience in a Dome Augmented by a Context-Dependent Text and Audio GuideThis paper proposes a collaborative entertainment system for virtual travel inside a dome. The users are expected to appreciate a distant scene projected on the wall of the dome while the system provides context-dependent information for the purpose of having them experience satisfactory travel activities. The context is inferred by measuring user's head position and orientation in a 3-D space with a smartphone-based sensor. The user data is wirelessly transmitted to a content server from which context-dependent information is extracted and is sent to a tablet wirelessly. The tablet provides the information in text and/or audio to the user. The system considers human-human interaction in the dome as well to make collaborative experience among users possible. Download
