Abstract

In this paper, we describe LingWear, a mobile tourist information system that allows uninformed users to find their way around in foreign cities and to ask for information about sights, accommodations, and other places of interest. The user can communicate with LingWear either by means of spontaneous speech queries or via a touch screen. LingWear automatically decides whether to respond through the integrated speech synthesis or display messages. LingWear is currently available for the cities of Heidelberg and Karlsruhe. It was designed to run on wearable computer, e.g. the Xybernaut family, and is available in both Windows and Linux versions.
