Abstract: 
The popularization of mobile devices and the rapid development of network transmission speed from 2.5G, 3G, 4G LTE to even 5G now, in recent years, have truly changed people’s life. To truly realize a digital life, it is possible to establish a mobile guidance system for exhibition hall to provide relevant information to users.
In this study, the primary subject for applying the Beacon technology in mobile guide was the exhibition hall with the theme of “Taiwan’s sugar industry development”, where five major categories were included: “Historical Changes in Sugar Industry”, “New vs. Old Sugar Processing Techniques”, “General Knowledge”, “Sugar Production Equipment” and “Transportation of Sugar Canes”, in the cross-media platform, which was established as a navigational model to provide more exhibition information on mobile devices. Then, the interactive effect and emotional experience from using this navigational model would be evaluated to provide as a reference for other exhibition guidance systems.
