In addition to creating ICT solutions for touristic walks, the developers of the eLearning Department of MTA SZTAKI (Institute for Computer Science and Control, Hungarian Academy of Sciences) have been also active in the field of interactive thematic walks since 2012. In order to use these walks, customers also need to install relevant members of the GUIDE@HAND application family on their smartphone. GUIDE@HAND Miskolc, a noted member of this application family, has been awarded the highest rank in the category of mobile applications at the communication competition of tourism “Iránytű 2015” (Compass 2015).
The interactive, narrated, guided tour “Attila József in Ferencváros” leads along the most significant locations of the childhood of the poet in Ferencváros. The tour was created according to the assignment given by the Local Government of Ferencváros in the Summer of 2015. Source information for the interactive walk was collected and prepared by the staff members of the Ferencváros Local History Museum and the Petőfi Literary Museum. Based on this collection, the tour has been implemented by the developers of the eLearning Department of MTA SZTAKI.
Various features and contents of this interactive walk help to recall the childhood of the poet, using citations from the biography “The Life of Attila József” written by Jolán József, the sister of the poet, poems of Attila József, background information about the history of the locations, as well as components from multimedia archives. The track of the walk was arranged mainly in consideration of the position of the locations, therefore the moments of the poet’s life appear not in their chronological order.
There are as much as 19 locations in Ferencváros with proven reference to the life of the poet, of which 11 are introduced during this walk. A map of Budapest can be downloaded before the start of the walk. This helps to overview the area, follow the track and identify the stops during the interactive tour. You can also read the narrated text, if you tap on the book-shaped icon during the tour, or recall any item or interesting detail any time later. The literary roaming takes about one and a half hours, but you can interrupt it any time. The application automatically creates a recording of the locations passed, so that you can easily resume the tour after the break.
The walk was granted the special prize „Widely Applicable product” at the 18th eLearning Forum. The English version of the walk was completed for the National Day of Poetry 2018.
