A Field Evaluation of an Intelligent Interaction Between People and a Territory and its Cultural Heritage

In this paper we present a reward-based field evaluation of the interaction model developed for Wanteat, designed to support the visualization and the exploration of identifiable objects of the real world and their connections with other objects. The interaction model proposes a paradigm that enables a personalized, social and serendipitous interaction with networked things, allowing a continuous transition between real and digital world. We will illustrate the procedure and the results of such evaluation, carried out with a prototype application without an active users community. In particular, we would like to discover if the interaction model stimulates the exploration of the objects in the system and their networks, and if it promotes the interactive features of the application, in particular social actions.
