Abstract:
The technical and procedural state of the art in video distribution and computer-mediated collaboration is mature enough to revisit the traditional television concept. The evolution of the state of the art made possible the concept of personal television, understood as viewers configuring what they wish to watch assisted by a smart recommendation system that proposes content adapted to their personal profile. We introduce a personalized interactive service platform intended to enhance the experience of completing the Way of Saint James. This platform can be accessed using devices like TV sets, mobile terminals or personal computers, and it is technologically supported by a blend of interactive TV, mobile communications, geolocation and semantic recommendation technologies. This proposal enhances the online provision of multi-technology services, the final users’ experience by providing accurate, personalized and geolocated multimedia content on the Way of Saint James as well as the promotion of tourism initiatives related to the Way, a key aspect in the promotion of Galice and Spain as touristic destinations.
