Digital Tourism Digital tourism - An analysis of digital trends in tourism and customer digital mobile behaviour for the Visit Arctic Europe project The future belongs to those who prepare for it today. The Future starts now! Hans Gelter May 2017 1 Foreword Travellers arriving in Northern Scandinavia are interested in experiencing wilderness-type nature and indigenous culture. Hence, the borders between the three countries are not important for international travellers. After years of preparation, tourism actors from the region began a common project to enhance international tourism. Visit Arctic Europe (VAE) project is conducted by the Finnish Lapland Tourist Board, the Northern Norway Tourist Board and the Swedish Lapland Visitor Board and is financed by Interreg Nord for the years 2015–2017. Both the public sector and 90 tourism companies are involved in the project. The aim of the project is to develop Northern Scandinavia into a cross-border, high-quality tourist area that is an internationally competitive and well-known destination. The project focuses on tourism marketing, joint product development, and improvement in accessibility. To ensure the efficiency of the project in line with the established objectives, stakeholders need analyses and updated information on the following four R&D missions: relevant indicators and measurement tools for the success of the VAE project, analysis of future travel trends, digital trends in tourism and customer digital and mobile behaviour, and obstacles to cross-border cooperation in the area where VAE is represented. In this third report, commissioned by the project, researcher from the Luleå university of technology, explore present and predicted future digital travel trends and customer digital mobile behaviour, that can be of relevance for the Visit Arctic Europe tourism industry. As digital information technologies have had a profound impact on tourism industry, and will in the future even more shape the industry and the behaviour and experiences of the traveller, staying update with digital travel trends becomes increasingly important for companies and destinations. However, predicting the future of digital technology development and its influence on people’s behaviours, becomes at the same time increasingly more difficult as the speed of technological evolution increases. We can only be humble in looking into the future, and the horizon of the future comes quickly closer and closer. With this report, we hope to inspire participants in the VAE-project for an interest and curiosity of the digital evolution and its impact on our lifestyle and traveling, as it becomes increasingly important to cope with its quick development to stay on a competitive edge in the global tourism arena.

In this paper we review the limitations of existing theories in explaining cybersickness and propose a practical alternative approach. We start by providing a clear operational definition of provocative motion stimulation during active HMD VR. In this situation, whenever the user makes a head movement, his/her virtual head will tend to trail its true position and orientation due to the display lag (or motion to photon latency). Importantly, these differences in virtual and physical head pose (DVP) will vary over time.

  • Volunteered Geographic Information System Design: Project and Participation Guidelines
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Volunteered Geographic Information System Design: Project and Participation Guidelines José-Pablo Gómez-Barrón *, Miguel-Ángel Manso-Callejo, Ramón Alcarria and Teresa Iturrioz MERCATOR Research Group: Geo-Information Technologies, Technical High School of Topography, Geodesy and Cartography Engineering, Technical University of Madrid (UPM), Campus Sur, 28031 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] (M.-A.M.-C.); [email protected] (R.A.); [email protected] (T.I.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-913-366-487 Academic Editors: Linda See, Vyron Antoniou, David Jonietz and Wolfgang Kainz Received: 14 March 2016; Accepted: 20 June 2016; Published: 5 July 2016 Abstract: This article sets forth the early phases of a methodological proposal for designing and developing Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) initiatives based on a system perspective analysis in which the components depend and interact dynamically among each other. First, it focuses on those characteristics of VGI projects that present different goals and modes of organization, while using a crowdsourcing strategy to manage participants and contributions. Next, a tool is developed in order to design the central crowdsourced processing unit that is best suited for a specific project definition, associating it with a trend towards crowd-based or community-driven approaches. The design is structured around the characterization of different ways of participating, and the task cognitive demand of working on geo-information management, spatial problem solving and ideation, or knowledge acquisition. Then, the crowdsourcing process design helps to identify what kind of participants are needed and outline subsequent engagement strategies. This is based on an analysis of differences among volunteers’ participatory behaviors and the associated set of factors motivating them to contribute, whether on a crowd or community-sourced basis.

Pavelka, jr.1, B. Michalík 2 1 Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Civil Engineering, dept. of Geomatics, Thakurova 7, Prague 6,16629 [email protected] 2 G4D s.r.o., Prague, Czech Republic, Hauptova 594 156 00 Praha 5-Zbraslav, Czech Republic, [email protected] KEY WORDS: Virtual reality, photogrammetry, laser scanning, BIM, documentation ABSTRACT: Virtual Reality (VR) is a highly topical subject in many branches of science and industry. Thanks to the rapid development and advancement of computer technology in recent years, it can now be used to a large extent, with more detail to show and is now more affordable than before. The use of virtual reality is currently devoted to many disciplines and it can be expected that its popularity will grow progressively over the next few years. The Laboratory of Photogrammetry at the Czech Technical University in Prague is also interested in VR and focuses mainly on documentation and visualization of historical buildings and objects. Our opinion is that in the field of virtual reality there is great potential and extensive possibilities. 3D models of historical objects, primarily created by photogrammetric IBRM technology (image based modelling and rendering) or by laser scanning, gain a completely different perspective in VR. In general, most of the newly designed buildings are now being implemented into BIM.

OTSS supports self-made XR styluses based on consumer-grade six-degrees-of-freedom XR controllers and commercially available styluses.

My use of transcode, a term introduced by the semiotician A.J. Greimas and carried into the digital realm by Lev Manovich, refers to how cultural elements such as assumptions, biases, priorities emerge within programming code and software. It demonstrates how cultural norms persist across different mediums and posits that, in many ways, the capacity to be flexible defines cultural ideologies. At the software level, programming languages work like performative speech: grammar which produces effects. When cast as speech, coming from a body (or bodies) instead of hardware, information structures can be perceived as acting within regimes of corporeality; when cast as software, information structures demonstrate and advertise the capabilities of hardware. Although often aligned with veracity and stability in its proximity to (computer) science, software is not culturally neutral.
