TLDR
This paper presents a prototype of a mobile application for UMTS called [email protected] (Local Location Assistant) and implements a tourist guide for users in the city of Vienna and discusses user interaction and interface design, design process, and technical solutions used to implement the application.Abstract:
Modern lifestyle corresponds with high personal mobility. People want to work or use leisure-time applications while on the road. Modern mobile communications systems allow to meet these requirements for the first time. Advanced new features like user positioning allow sophisticated applications that are not possible in the fixed Internet or traditional cellular networks. Still, application development for the Mobile Internet is a complex task. Users have special demands because of the mobile environment. Stringent technical constraints are imposed by mobile networks and mobile devices.In this paper we present a prototype of a mobile application for UMTS. It is called [email protected] (Local Location Assistant) and implements a tourist guide for users in the city of Vienna. We discuss user interaction and interface design, design process, and technical solutions used to implement the application. Because of the initial lack of powerful PDAs, currently a laptop is used as terminal.read more

A Review of Mobile HCI Research Methods
Jesper Kjeldskov,Connor Graham +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the bias towards building systems and a lack of research for understanding design and use limits the development of cumulative knowledge on mobile human computer interaction, which inhibits future development of the research field as a whole.

Evaluating the usability of a mobile guide: the influence of location, participants and resources
Jesper Kjeldskov,Connor Graham,Sonja Pedell,Frank Vetere,Steve Howard,Sandrine Balbo,Jessica E. Davies +6 more
TL;DR: In evaluating the guide, four different techniques were applied; field-evaluation, laboratory evaluation, heuristic walkthrough and rapid reflection, and their relative strengths and weaknesses were discussed.
Where is Mobile Learning Going
Anna Trifonova,Marco Ronchetti +1 more
TL;DR: This paper aims at helping, by reviewing the existing work, and classifying the research directions that try to answer the questions of how m-learning will help reaching the goals of a better learning, and how it will be different from the rest of e-learning.

Experiences of developing and deploying a context-aware tourist guide: the GUIDE project
TL;DR: Through the work on the GUIDE project, researchers believe that they have produced a blueprint for the development of interactive context-aware systems that should be of real value to those in the community who wish to develop such systems in a practical environment.
