This is my mini project presentation on "Personalized Outdoor Audio Tour Guide with Augmented Reality". This is mainly describing about a smart phone application solution that uses location APIs and a simple learning algorithm to function as a tour guide.
Exploring the Future Potential of AI-Enabled Smartphone Processors

2. Personalization
2012
Design or tailor to meet an individual's specifications, needs, or preferences
(eg) a personalized search engine; personalized learning.
3. Automated Personalization
Learn from user’s choices
Track, where user clicks, his preferred
operating time, his choices
Best example are Facebook and Google

4. Automated Personalization
A Learning Algorithm for Top-Down XML
Transformations
Implemented in C#
Process XML files on user choice

6. Augmented Reality
• a technology that superimposes a
computer-generated image on a user's
view of the real world, thus providing a
composite view.
Uses camera viewport of mobile devices
Very efficient
Low cost
Easy to implement
No super skills needed to use
Easier to understand, what is happening

7. Why tourism industry?
Giving more foreign currency
But yet to be supported with technologies
In Sri Lanka you can see tourists with book and
phones off.
Appointing a tour guides are fairly expensive.
Digitalizing Sri Lankan tourism industry is certainly
a plus.

10. Background task
No need for app should be activated
A separate thread of app runs as
background task and notify user time to
time
Mainly with audio alerts
Eg: If this is lunch time, it will check for a
restaurant near and tell like “Hi Bob, Hirikatu oya
restaurant is 4 km away from here, you can get
cheap fired rice and chicken there.

12. Issues and overcomes
Some places are not available in APIs.
Using foursquare mobile app, added all those
places
Internet signal is not available in all
places.
This app caches place details and save them
locally.
Battery consumption.
Direct X is the answer. C++ libraries of GART
boosts the performance and uses less battery2012
