Touring Machine is an innovative platform designed to offer a new kind of experience in culture for adults and children. It is a personalized, highly customizable tour guide which conforms to the visitor's characteristics and demands.
Our platform uses a powerful description engine which generates descriptions on the fly taking into account elements such as the user's history, language, age and amount of desired information. Additionally, Touring Machine provides multimedia content, optimized for a number of different clients.
It is available in three editions:
The Mobile Edition targets those visiting an archeological site. Using the phone's GPS it detects the nearby exhibits and presents them to a list, according to their relative position. When the GPS is inactive, image recognition is used to recognize the exhibit.
The Web Edition delivers a rich experience by virtually reconstructing the 3D space using photographs of the exhibits.
The Augmented Reality edition is designed to make cultural education more engaging for young students. It virtually replaces predefined symbols with 3D models of the corresponding exhibits, transforming a classroom into a virtual museum.
All editions support features such as advanced question answering, social networking and text-to-speech.

The texts that describe monuments and other points of interest are generated from OWL ontologies by NaturalOWL, an open-source natural language generation engine (see http://nlp.cs.aueb.gr/).
