Multimodal Diverse Travel (subtitles)

Multimodal Diverse Travel is part of "Macedonia: from fragments to pixels," a special exhibition of prototypical interactive systems with subjects drawn from ancient Macedonia, the result of a collaboration between the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki (AMTh) and the Institute of Computer Science of the Foundation for Research and Technology -- Hellas (ICS-FORTH), hosted by the AMTh.

This system enables more than one visitor at the same time to interactively explore information about various areas and points of a map of Macedonia.

The system comprises a table, whose surface is covered by a printed map on which the location of various cities and other notable sites is projected. White paper tablets with a coloured frame are at the visitors' disposal. On each tablet a magnifying glass is displayed. When the magnifying glass is placed over a city, related images, videos and texts appear on the tablet. For every city there are multiple information "pages", which can be viewed by touching virtual buttons at the bottom of the tablet. The colour of the frame of each tablet designates the language in which information is presented.
