# Ida Interactive Destination Assistant
**NOI Hackathon Summer Edition Project**

## What is Ida?
Ida has two meanings. The first is literal, it stands for: **Interactive Destination Assistant** the other one is more fun: its a South Tyrolean (German) name 💁‍♂️ and that helps to give personality to the assistant.

Ida is an assistant that helps tourists to plan excursions in [South Tyrol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Tyrol).

## How does Ida assist tourists?
First things first:

Ida is composed of more than one part. The first one being: Ida runs on a [Kiosk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive_kiosk). The second one: Ida also runs on a mobile device📱.

### Ida's Workflow
* The tourist stands in front of the Kiosk and selects his language🌐.
* The tourist can take a picture📸 using the Kiosk. A [cognitive service](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_computing)💻 recognizes age, sex, number of persons and the group type such as single👨, couple💑, family👨‍👩‍👧 or friends👋. (this step can be skipped, and information can be corrected/inserted manually.)
* Ida will start to ask some questions to the tourist. Examples:

What do you prefer?

* **Historical cities**
* **Famed Landmarks**
* **Local Eats**

* **Beautiful landscapes**
* **Supreme relaxation**
* **A hike in the mountains**

.....

* According to the obtained Information Ida will generate a couple of **unique experiences** in South Tyrol.
* The tourist selects the experience and enjoys the day👌.
* Optionally the tourist can download the app📱 that adds more information to the experience and provides weather related☁️ updates... The user can also print his selected unique experience.

## Where will Ida be placed?
Good question🤔

💡 Ida can be placed in Hotels. Moreover, Hotels can offer their own experiences on Ida, next to the public ones everyone can create, of course.

💡 Technically at any other place of interest.

## Who will provide unique experiences for Ida?
* The hotels
* The community
* Travel guides: this group of people can offer **paid excursions**.
* Example: [Mountain Guides](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_guide)⛰️ can offer a tour on the glacier.
