PROJECT COURSE

(AVANZA R+D)

The primary goal of the COURSE project is to develop a user-focused platform which offers tourism services, products and information adapted to user context, by means of a mobile application that guides tourists through the city. The application, which will be developed from the platform, will use interactive maps and augmented reality to suggest routes, places to visit and transportation.

In addition to participating in the initial development phase of the Project Quality Plan, CICtourGUNE is leading the task of developing the models of semantic representation and the task of context modelling.

Objectives:

• To create a mobile web application that proactively delivers generation-oriented, context-based information, products and services to travellers.
• To create a platform that enables different stakeholders in the tourism value chain, such as tourism businesses – in particular small and medium-size enterprises – that do not have the resources and technical knowledge to handle this new type of tourism and keep pace with the rapid changes in the IT sector.
• To see that a large part of the application is context sensitive, taking into account such variables as geographic location, date and time, weather conditions, user preferences or social contacts at destination.
• To attain close integration with social networks and 2.0 web platforms (Twitter, Spotify, Flicker, YouTube)

Partners:

Andago, ATOS, Parlyeri
