CMUseum: A location-aware wireless video streaming system'

Location-aware computing enables automatic tailoring of information and services based on the current location of a mobile user. We have designed and implemented CMUseum, a system that enables location-based video streaming applications, as well as other add-on services on top of the purposed infrastructure. Our novel design incorporates an 802.15.4 Zigbee sensor network for collecting location information as well as an 802.11 Wi-Fi network for streaming video contents. This framework is largely event-driven in order to support the real-time nature Of the video streaming services it handles. We have demonstrated the viability of this system through implementing a working system in a museum four guide scenario.
