Abstract

Emerging location-aware mobile technologies are being applied successfully in cultural environments. Different technologies, such as RFID, WiFi, and so on, are being applied to allow mobile devices interact with the environment. This paper describes a system based on both active and passive RFID which support the automatic positioning of mobile devices in art museums. This proposal results especially useful to provide location-aware information avoiding the need for users to manually select the desired information they want to see. This proposal has been successfully proved for the location and positioning of PDAs.
