Extracted Abstract:

This paper presents the architecture of a system to provide user orientation with the capability to automatically show multimedia information (audio, static images, panoramic images, VRML models, HTML pages) according to the user real or virtual location within a site. System architecture is based on Client- Server technology . Site related information is mainly located at the Server side. The orientation devices are the Clients which request information to the Server according to each user position, profile and, what it is more important, terminal capabilities. The proposed architecture has been applied to provide tourist orientation when visiting, either actually or virtually, an open-area of the city of Madrid named The Orient Square. Keywords Augmented Reality, VRML, Multimedia Information, Service Scalability, Client/Server, Java. 1
