Not only geolocalized content.

Augmented reality can further enrich any tourist’s experience by enhancing his or her view of the world with supplementary information and superimposed images

One of Ariadne’s most popular features allows users to “look around”with the phone, to see points of interest surrounding, and the access to functions such as reservations, purchase tips, discounts and promotions, and many more is just a click away…

Augmented reality is an amazing technology that uses superimposed computer graphics to narrow the gap between what is real and what is computer generated using tracking technologies like digital cameras, accelerometers, and optical sensors from your smartphone, pad or a mounted/dedicated device.
Augmented reality tourism gives us the ability to view historic people, places, and objects outside the boundaries of linear time.
These platforms enable people to have an experience that they would otherwise be unable to have, such as the ability to view a digital recreation of a place and time in history. Augmented reality gives us the ability to recreate the sights and sounds of the ancient world, allowing a tourist to experience a place in time as if he or she were actually present when a given event in history occurred.

The potential impact augmented reality can have on tourism is very exciting, and the possibilities are endless.

Augmented reality museums and augmented reality tours allow environments to be recreated digitally for viewers to experience. A historic landmark that has been reduced to ruins by looting, destruction, or simply the progression of time, can be digitally recreated in real-time to its former glory through the use of superimposed images and augmented reality. By viewing a physical environment whose elements are augmented by computer generated images, the viewer can actually experience a historic place or event as if he or she has traveled back in time.

Imagine being able to stand in front of the ruins of the Coliseum in Rome, view the location through handheld or mounted devices, and experience the splendor of a bygone era through images superimposed upon the remaining physical structure. Augmented reality even gives us the ability to see the progression of how a landmark or structure has changed and evolved over time.

With augmented reality tourism, travel guides come to life in real-time.

Augmented reality content stored on a central server is available to the person with its mobile phone’s camera on the historical site. Visitors can visualize in 3D historical places, beautiful landscapes, or anything they desire to see in real-time locations.

Augmented reality on mobile smartphones can also enhance any tourist’s experience. Imagine walking through a territory (indoor or outdoor) and having the ability to access additional information or images associated with a priceless, historical work of art simply by viewing it through your smartphone.
