Abstract

The present work describes the architecture of an interactive audio guide (CART) specifically conceived for the Neapolitan Charterhouse “San Martino”, as part of a project, whose aim is to collect and model multimodal data for the development of spoken technologies for museum fruitions. In addition to the cultural contents that an audio-guide can provide, this application is enriched with a spoken dialogue system, a system interacting with humans by means of spoken language commands and requests. The application was developed using Android Studio. Furthermore, the developed interface for the Museum was endowed with dialogic skills modelled in DialogFlow using its Android Software Development Kit (SDK), to which Text-to-Speech technologies were integrated to record the user query. The results are promising in that they display positive feedback for the introduction of such technologies in museums.
