PROBLEM STATEMENT
• Due to impact of covid, global tourism industries have lost
almost us $4.5 trillion. Implementing an augmented reality-
based solution to improve tourism of historic monuments by
collecting data of the historic events and existing evidences
could help us relive those prehistoric ages.
• The outbreak of covid-19 has shown many negative impacts
on industry, especially when it comes to travelling and tourism
sector. In this paper, it is explored how mobile applications in
incorporating the elements of augmented reality (AR) can be
leveraged in order to revive tourism in post covid-19 era.

Introduction
• Augmented reality is regarded as the most world-changing technologies
of 21st century. AR is a type of communication technology that allows
extending digital media out into the physical world. It can augment the
surrounding environment with virtual entities and information in a way
that no longer differentiate between reality and fiction.
• AR application to provide fast and high quality service. It is anticipated
that many enterprises operating in tourism sector will benefit from the
apps in order to provide tourist satisfaction.
• On the basis of augmented reality, many applications have been
developed and are still being developed.
• This study aims to examine the usage of augmented reality
applications in the tourism industry, which this application is user
friendly
• Augmented reality is a complex interdisciplinary field utilizing
information technologies in diverse areas.
AR APPLICATION IN TOURISM
• AR SYNERGY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO ENHANCE THE TOURIST EXPERIENCE AND
MAKE THEM HIGH-LEVEL, ADDING THAT ELABORATE AND APPLICABLE TECHNOLOGIES
WHICH PROVIDE INFORMATION TO TOURISTS AT ALL TIMES AND CONDITIONS ARE NO
LONGER A FUTURE DREAM.
• WITH ANY AR EXPERIENCE, THE CONTENT AND THE REAL WORLD SHOULD BE THE
MAIN FOCUS.
• THIS TOURIST GUIDE PROJECT IS AN ANDROID APPLICATION WHICH USES AR TO
PROVIDE MORE INTERACTIVITY TO THE USERS VIEW. WHEN THE AR TECHNOLOGY IS
APPLIED IN IT, INFORMATIONS LIKE THE HISTORY ABOUT THE MONUMENTS,LOCATION,
ROAD MAP, TRAVEL VEHICLES TO REACH THE DESTINATIONS, NEARBY HOTELS AND
RESTRAURANTS, WEATHER AND ETC.
• App interface also reflects on the opportunities and challenges accompanying
historic monuments. The information augmented in app interface is categorized
into three main modes; history and heritage, around the city and database.
These categories are appropriate due to the type and amount of current available
informations.
• In the addition three modes, the app interface also contains status bar and
settings. The status bar in the interface includes a home button, a compass and
an audio button.
• The user has as the option to activate the audio guide by pressing the audio
button any time it appears on the screen
• in the interface components appear on the top on the camera view from
smartphones; thus, the camera becomes activated once the app is launched.
It can be provided with two languages tamil and native language used in that
particular place. A preferred language can be selected in the main interface
after launching the app from the smartphone.
• History/heritage: this mode mainly contains about the history of the historic
monuments. It also contains about the people and the culture belonging to the
place where the monument is situated.
• Around the city: this mode contains many tabs such as nearby hotels,

 CONCLUSION

• THIS AR APPLICATION AS SOME OF THE AMAZING BENEFITS OF AR IN TOURISM. THE

DIGITAL WORLD TODAY IS FULL OF INNOVATION AND SUPRISES. WHAT ONCE WAS SCI-
FI CONCEPT HAS TODAY BECOME A NECESSITY OF THE GLOBAL MARKET. `
• THE APPLICATION WE HAVE DEVELOPED GIVES THE USERS ABOUT THE NEWER AND
MORE INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE HISTORIC MONUMENTS. THIS ATTRACTS THE
TOURISTS MORE.
• WITH OUR CUURENTS IMPLEMENTATIONS WE ARE READY WITH THE BASIC IDEA. WE
CAN ADD MORE FUNCTIONALITIES LIKE A REVIEW SYSTEM FOR THE USERS TO GET
FEEDBACK. WE CAN ALSO ADD BASIC REVIEWS FOR THE PLACES PEOPLE VISIT USING
THIS APPLICATION.
