The goal of this thesis is the implementation of an interactive web application, an info point, which could run on a multitouch surface created at the ViCoS lab at Faculty of Computer and Information Science. The developed interactive web application InfoFRI point represents a virtual signpost for the faculty's rooms by drawing an interactive paths on the floor plan of the faculty building and the building of object X, starting at the faculty's lobby in the 1st floor and continuing up to the specific room. Another web application was created in the scope of the thesis in order to ease the manipulation and editing of the InfoFRI point database. Both web applications were implemented in web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript (jQuery). In order to comply with the requirements of the multitouch surface for storing data in JSON and to introduce lightweight databases, a document-oriented database CouchDB was implemented.
