The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new paradigm that connects objects to provide seamless communication and contextual information to anyone, anywhere, at any time (AAA). These Internet-of-Things-enabled automated objects interact with visitors to present a variety of information during museum navigation and exploration. In this article, a smart navigation and information system (SNIS) prototype for museum navigation and exploration is developed, which delivers an interactive and more exciting museum exploration experience based on the visitor's personal presence. The objects inside a museum share the information that assist and navigate the visitors about the different sections and objects of the museum. The system was deployed inside Chakdara Museum and experimented with 381 users to achieve the results. For results, different users marked the proposed system in terms of parameters such as interesting, reality, ease of use, satisfaction, usefulness, and user friendly. Of these 381 users, 201 marked the system as most interesting, 138 marked most realistic, 121 marked it as easy-in-use, 219 marked it useful, and 210 marked it as user friendly. These statistics prove the efficiency of SNIS and its usefulness in smart cultural heritage, including smart museums, exhibitions and cultural sites.
物联网 (IoT) 是一种新的范例，它将物体连接起来，随时随地为任何人提供无缝的通信和上下文信息 (AAA)。这些物联网支持的自动化物体与访客互动，在博物馆导航和探索期间呈现各种信息。在本文中，开发了一种用于博物馆导航和探索的智能导航和信息系统 (SNIS) 原型，该系统基于访客的个人存在，提供了一种互动性更强、更令人兴奋的博物馆探索体验。博物馆内的物体共享信息，协助和引导访客了解博物馆的不同区域和展品。该系统部署在 Chakdara 博物馆，并对 381 名用户进行了实验以获得结果。对于结果，不同的用户根据有趣、现实、易用性、满意度、有用性和用户友好性等参数标记了提出的系统。在这 381 名用户中，有 201 名用户认为该系统最有趣，138 名用户认为最逼真，121 名用户认为易于使用，219 名用户认为有用，210 名用户认为用户友好。这些统计数据证明了 SNIS 的效率及其在智能文化遗产（包括智能博物馆、展览和文化遗址）中的有用性。
