An ubiquitous mobile multimedia system for events agenda

The current growth of mobile devices enabled with GPS receptors, cameras, accelerometers, and Internet access offers new opportunities for new mobile ubiquitous multimedia applications. Such applications help local communities to share resources using geo-location, interactive mapping, augmented reality, and several data representations. This paper presents CityEvents, a mobile solution that provides real time awareness-based information of local events and news. The presented ubiquitous system is a simple and easy to use event guide, providing location-awareness and content-awareness ordering data to the user. The proposal was evaluated and demonstrated in iPhone devices and it is ready for use.
