Abstract

This paper presents the development of a system for realizing interactive exhibitions in the context of a science and technology center. The core functionality of the system is provided by a positioning subsystem comprised of a fixed infrastructure of transmitters and a sensor worn by a user. The operating principle of the positioning system is based on inductive coupling of resonators. Information about the position of the user is transferred to an information system for processing and displaying. Possible use cases include interactive games, information retrieval interfaces and educational scenarios.
