Abstract
We have developed two-way location aware system, named as “The Beijing Explorer”, which exchanged positioning information and users’ situation to one another using a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) with built-in wireless LAN and a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver in real time. Users can see their position and their chats on the screen of a PDA using the system real-timely. The system was used for the guidance of the Palace Museum (Forbidden City) in Beijing, China. We carried on experiments two times using the system. The results of experiments show that the service using positioning data and sharing contents were valuable and interesting. The correct positioning information is important for the guidance system.
