Abstract:
Recently, many people introduced their personal sightseeing trips on the Internet, with the effect that some of the introduced sightseeing spots have attracted the attention of tourists. In this research, we propose a sightseeing communication system based on making and sharing a sightseeing “story”. Users make a story consisting of four frames about the sightseeing by editing pictures taken at sightseeing spots. The story-creating process yields to new discoveries about the appeal of sightseeing spots, because the user will look for topics to feature in a story during their sightseeing trip. We expect that such a process will make the sightseeing more individual and creative. The produced story is also shared among other users, which we anticipate to generate interest in the sightseeing spots.
