Zusammenfassung
Within this paper we address the problem of supporting small groups of museum visitors by means of museum tour guides based on mobile devices. Instead of forcing members of such groups into isolation, as today's personal museum guides do, we aim at supporting the potential of collaborative learning within such groups. In order to evaluate our approach, we propose a large scale user study evaluating the effectiveness of the group collaboration encouraged by the system.
