What is it about?
At heritage sites, people are becoming more interested in doing instead of learning. In a field study, we use smartphones and mobile projectors for a heritage walk to examine how different devices affect their engagement and experience.

Why is it important?
Through a rigorous qualitative study of two different devices and ways of displaying information, we highlight aspects that designers of mobile technology should consider when designing new technology and interactions for heritage exploration. We suggest that devices for heritage walks should support embodied relationships between the user and the device and bring aspects of the space directly into the interactive experience.
Perspectives
I hope reading this article motivates people to think about designing new devices and interactions for heritage walks instead of designing new apps for smartphones.
