... Figure 2 illustrates, NEMO selects Semantic Media based on the on-site data, semantic model and visitors input, interaction and usage history. By selecting a sequence of media and providing them to InfoGrid as a narrative path, the mobile app is able to guide the visitors by displaying the contents of the NSM to them according to their location inside the exhibition. ...

There are different types of digital platforms and support systems for teaching and learning processes. Some of these systems are called Learning Management Systems (LMS) and School Management Systems (SMS). An important part missing in these mainly organizational platforms is support for the combination of knowledge and media to Knowledge Media (KM) within an environment for contextualized learning processes. Such environments have been called Knowledge Media Management Systems (KMMS). As a model and research system for a KMMS we implemented Ambient Learning Spaces (ALS), an integrated modular multimedia teaching and learning platform for postconstructivist learning inside and outside educational institutions. ALS is a distributed cloud-based KM repository connecting different interactive learning applications using current interaction devices like wearables, mobiles, tangibles, and other interactive multimedia frontend systems. ALS can be seen as a kind of interactive “Digital Knowledge Media Machine” that enables learners mapping the world of real life situations to KM providing different modalities for creating, modeling, transforming, recombining, annotating, and reflecting the content during the learning processes. ALS installations have been used, studied, and improved for more than 10 years in schools, museums, and other contexts like urban and industrial spaces, or biotopes in a variety of teaching and learning settings. This contribution describes the concept and architecture of ALS seen as a KMMS.
... Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that can be used in multiple settings to provide individualized and contextualized information regarding physical objects as digital information overlays [1]. These overlays can contain images, videos, and virtual 3D objects to support learning and understanding in the context of the physical object. ...
Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that can be used to provide personalized and contextualized information regarding physical objects in form of digital overlays. We use this technology in our research project Ambient Learning Spaces (ALS) to provide museum visitors with specific additional digital 3D information regarding the exhibits presented. With this technology, we enable museum curators to use a new form of transporting contextualized information without the need for additional physical space. However, the use of AR brings up new challenges for the creation and placement of digital contents into the museum space. In this context, we ran an anonymous survey on the use of AR in museums throughout Germany and studied responses of (N = 133) museum professionals. The results indicate that, although many museum professionals are interested in using AR technology, currently the integration is very costly and complex. This paper proposes a system we developed in a user-centered design process with a museum. This system provides an interface that helps museum professionals to cope with the complexity when placing and aligning digital 3D objects in their exhibition using mobile devices. Through this solution, visitors have the chance to experience the virtual objects spatially embedded in the exhibition by the curators themselves. In multiple user studies during the development phase we measured the usability of the interface. The findings show that the system provides a high degree of usability and can be applied effectively by museum professionals.
