CityGuide is a joint project of our Institute with the tourism offices of 3 Hungarian cities (Pécs, Eger and Sopron). The project aims to develop a PDA-based information service for tourists offering a wide range of historic, cultural and practical information. Equipped with a satellite navigation receiver, the PDA guides you to the monument selected and displays information material - text and pictures - as well as acoustic information. When entering a museum, the device leads you through the exhibition and offers explanations about the exhibits. The system also contains an integrated GIS database enabling navigation in and around the city for both pedestrians and car drivers. In a pilot project, tourist offices will lend interested tourists PDA devices equipped with CityGuide software and experiences by the users will also be processed in the course of the project.

Participants: Cities of Sopron, Eger and Pécs, MTA SZTAKI eLearning Dept.
