Talking Houses: Transforming Touristic Buildings into Intelligent Characters in Augmented Reality
Information and Communication Technologies in Tourism 2023 Springer Proceedings in Business and Economics(2023)
摘要
AbstractAugmented reality (AR) technologies can enhance the user’s experience of visiting attractions, shops, and restaurants by using AR-based virtual elements and additional information about the places they are visiting. In this work, we transform the city landscape or iconic buildings into a unique experience by bringing iconic characters onto the buildings to increase users’ engagement. Our techniques transform buildings or parts of a building into a virtual character with which the user can interact. We designed two unique experiences: (a) ‘The Square’ in which the character will talk about the building’s history and other anecdotes about the area, and (b) ‘The Hunt’ in which the user is involved in a scavenger hunt where they have to identify buildings using the hints given by virtual characters. We have conducted a live user study to assess our prototype’s usability. Our preliminary experimental results demonstrated that our prototype has high usability and users using our system felt a pleasant and enjoyable experience.
