Tourist Information System Based on Beacon and Augumented Reality Technologies
Yoshitaka Shibata, Katsumi Sasaki · 2016
Tourism is one of important resources in Japanese economy. The number of tourists has been increasing year and year. And the divergence and personalization for tourists are required and new tourism function and deployment are expected to attract those tourists. In this paper, we suggest a new tourist information system, by the augmented reality using the information of the beacon which can provide tour information based on the point of interests (POI). POI information and contents triggered by waver signal from beacon device are downloaded and overlapped on the real image on smart device to realize augmented reality (AR). A prototype system is constructed to evaluate its functionality.
