Abstract and Topics

Following the successful series of PATCH workshops, PATCH 2023 will again
be the meeting point between state-of-the-art cultural heritage (CH)
research and personalization research. Focused on those using different
types of technology, with emphasis on ubiquitous and adaptive scenarios,
used to enhance the personal experience in CH sites. The workshop is aimed
at bringing together researchers and practitioners who are working on
various aspects of CH and are interested in exploring the potential of
state-of-the-art mobile and personalized technology (onsite as well as
online) to enhance the CH visiting experience. The expected result of the
workshop is a multidisciplinary research agenda that will inform future
research directions and, hopefully, forge some research collaborations.

Motivation

Cultural heritage (CH) has traditionally been a primary area for
personalization research. Visitors come to cultural heritage sites willing
to experience and learn new things, with expectations but possibly without
a clear idea of what they will find there. The Museum Experience Revisited,
by John Falk and Lynn Dierking (2013), argues that the visitor=E2=80=99s ex=
perience
is constructed by the intertwining of the personal, the social, and the
physical context. The experience begins before the visit, when one starts
to think about it, and lasts well after leaving the building. Indeed CH is
rich in objects and information and offers much more than the visitor can
absorb during their limited time in situ. Hence, visitors may benefit from
individualized support that takes into account contextual and personal
attributes.

We invite cultural heritage professionals and researchers to join us to
discuss findings and trends on personalisation of cultural heritage in the
broadest sense, from online and remote cultural access to onsite visit,
from individuals to groups, from tangible to virtual and robotic mediation.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

   -

   Adaptive navigation and personalized browsing in digital and physical
   cultural heritage collections and in CH sites
   -

   Ambient Cultural Heritage
   -

   Personalization for group of visitors to CH sites
