Abstract

This paper introduces an augmented-reality system that provides navigation facilities, generation of itineraries and services delivery. The approach offers the possibility of combining real sceneries with digital representations of places of interest and services for a given itinerary. The first level of the approach supports the identification of a given place based on Augmented reality (AR), offering additional information (images and description) of that place. The second level generates navigation itineraries based on semantic Web services, user profiles and recommendations obtained from tourism sources. The experimental setup integrates smartphones with digital compass, GPS, camera and accelerometer. The framework has been experimented in Mexico downtown in the historical center "Zocalo". The applications are available in App Store and Google Play Store called "Turicel aumentado" and "Turicel2", respectively.
