Abstract

Location-based Services (LBS) are special types of services that are triggered to deliver certain content (e.g., text, image, video) to users with respect to the users’ exact or approximate location or proximity to certain points of interest. LBS can address the field of smart museums with a goal of enhancing the museum experience for visitors with dynamic and personalized content. In this UHP thesis, we explore a set of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies that can enable the work of LBS in the field of smart museums. The project envisions an immersive museum journey where visitors can seamlessly access interactive exhibits, receive context-rich information, and participate in engaging activities. In this project, we focus on Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons, Zigbee, and Quick Response (QR) codes. Such IoT technologies are integrated with an Android mobile application for the museum visitor to interact with the displayed art pieces. This endeavor aligns with the broader goals of promoting technology-driven innovation in cultural spaces, fostering a deeper appreciation for history, art, and heritage.
