Abstract
Over past years, there have been many advancements in the digital world, and augmented reality is one of the fastest emerging fields. Augmented reality is a section of mixed reality that superimposes the virtual world in the real world. Tourism, a tertiary sector industry, can make use of AR for their own benefits. Our paper proposes an application for tourists to make their tour experience more interactive. ART, augmented reality in tourism, intends to scan a food menu, display 3D food models and description about it so tourists get better idea about the food item and food ingredients which they are not familiar with; the application also proposes the idea of digital brochure for hotels which superimposes 3D view of the hotel rooms and the amenities provided by the hotel on the available brochure making the search for hotels more user-friendly; further the application also allows the AR camera to scan the map of a particular area, and user can navigate through the map to seek information about the locations via texts or video. This application focuses on three different areas which are considered the major concerns for tourists while travelling to non-familiar places.
