Augmented Reality Tourist Catalogue Using Mobile Technology

Tourism studies have noted that insufficient attention has been paid to the experience and practices of the tourist. Tourism research does not help to explain the nature of modern mass tourism. The most detailed research that has been done is tourist information seeking, but the literature has tended to avoid detailed qualitative description, focusing more on broad categorizations of tourist practice. The purpose of this article is to show how I will go about in creating a tourist catalogue that uses augmented reality. This catalogue will help tourists both domestic and foreign get visual aid for viewing objects on a simple map. This article shows the extent this new technology has been explored in to and how much has been implemented. This article focuses on explaining what augmented reality is and the methodology that will be used to go about this new and unexploited technology.
