Abstract

In this paper an Android application called TindArt is presented. It has been developed to investigate a way to profile the user in cultural contexts, through the application of Recommender Systems for museum visits in the future. The purpose of the research also includes the study of the User Experience with TindArt to understand how it could be used in a real museum context. Two pilot studies are also presented.
