Abstract

In this paper, we introduce and implement a model for context-aware interaction, and demonstrate its usefulness through an empirical study of interaction in a wayfinding task. Firstly, we outline the challenge of modeling context-awareness in dynamic interaction arising from wayfinding and navigation assistance applications. The conceptual model is developed and explained with emphasis on the context-aware interaction, and the three dynamic aspects in such interactions. Secondly, a wayfinding experiment is used to implement the conceptual model. We finish by concluding that the model proposed enables a dynamically inter-relational concept of context to be considered, and that the experiment described provides a valuable method for evaluating context-aware interaction in wayfinding.
