Abstract

More and more people use software applications and the Internet in their daily routine. Cultural heritage has been a favored domain for using such interactive software systems. Heritage sites, cultural institutions, and travel agencies provide visitors with digital applications, such as information retrievers and guides, aiming to enhance their visit experience. However, such applications support mainly visits at indoor than outdoor environments, are site-dependent as the information is provided for limited and specific cultural heritage items, and they are not customizable to store new information. Our previous work [9] overcome such issues, and in this paper, we extend that work by leveraging the recent technological advances in the telecommunications and the computer science domains. In this paper, we present the design and the preliminary evaluation of CHISTA (In Iranian and Persian mythology, Chista was the goddess of knowledge who led the mortals to the right way in life by providing them with meaningful information), which is an application for storing and retrieving information related to cultural heritage artifacts, sites, facts, etc. using computer vision techniques. We envision that CHISTA will be used by visitors and travelers to obtain cultural heritage information, which is provided by authorized third parties, using common technologies, such as their smartphones and the Internet.
