First successful test run of the prototype implementation

Today, I went on a walk through Petershausen. But today it was the first time I did this walk together with the prototype implementation of a "tourist guide", which is location-aware and has a speech interface. The whole thing runs on my HTC Magician aka T-Mobile MDA compact and takes approx. 15MB for the whole package, i.e. including positioning and speech interaction.

I walked up to the station and the guide told me "Listen User, the station is now visible." Ok, that might have been an obvious thing to say. But when I asked "Guide, tell me something about the station. ", the guide responded: "The Petershausen train station connects Petershausen to Munich and Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm. It is well communicated by suburban trains, regional and national trains including the Intercity Express." For a first run quite impressive.
