NOI Hackathon Summer Edition Project
Ida has two meanings. The first is literal, it stands for: Interactive Destination Assistant the other one is more fun: its a South Tyrolean (German) name 💁♂️ and that helps to give personality to the assistant.
Ida is an assistant that helps tourists to plan excursions in South Tyrol.
First things first:
Ida is composed of more than one part. The first one being: Ida runs on a Kiosk. The second one: Ida also runs on a mobile device📱.
- The tourist stands in front of the Kiosk and selects his language🌐.
- The tourist can take a picture📸 using the Kiosk. A cognitive service💻 recognizes age, sex, number of persons and the group type such as single👨, couple💑, family👨👩👧 or friends👋. (this step can be skipped, and information can be corrected/inserted manually.)
- Ida will start to ask some questions to the tourist. Examples:
What do you prefer?
-
Historical cities
- Famed Landmarks
- Local Eats
-
Beautiful landscapes
- Supreme relaxation
- A hike in the mountains
.....
- According to the obtained Information Ida will generate a couple of unique experiences in South Tyrol.
- The tourist selects the experience and enjoys the day👌.
- Optionally the tourist can download the app📱 that adds more information to the experience and provides weather related☁️ updates... The user can also print his selected unique experience.
Good question🤔
💡 Ida can be placed in Hotels. Moreover, Hotels can offer their own experiences on Ida, next to the public ones everyone can create, of course.
💡 Technically at any other place of interest.
- The hotels
- The community
- Travel guides: this group of people can offer paid excursions.
- Example: Mountain Guides⛰️ can offer a tour on the glacier.
