Enhanced Experience of Sport Events

• This paper describes a system where Internet-enabled sensor technology was integrated into a context information platform to give viewers of sport events an enriched media experience. The system was developed as a proof of concept and was evaluated during real-life use at the Vasaloppet cross-country ski event. Using Bluetooth wireless ad-hoc networking and GPRS technology, sensor data was transmitted from contestants to a context information platform, which in turn presented the sport event viewer with a personalized, context-aware view.
