Existing applications of IoT in cultural heritage domain.

Real-World Application	Example	Challenges Faced
Monitoring and control of smart network in the premises	Smart system at Maschio Angioino castle in Naples for ambient lighting	Should not overwhelm the non-technical users
Provide an interactive visit experience	Smart system accesses handheld devices, either owned by the site or the visitors, to track visitor interest and publish relevant information	User privacy concerns and maintenance requirements of the sophisticated hardware
Analytics of data generated by an IoT-based smart environment	Visitor behavior is classified and used to determine the popularity of the cultural artifacts on display	Development of sophisticated models requires technical expertise
