What is it about?
Our paper introduces an innovative way to experience tourist attractions using augmented reality (AR) and miniature dioramas. Imagine taking a virtual tour where you can explore famous landmarks from above, interacting with key features, all while receiving informative voice guides. This fresh approach aims to make tourism more engaging and educational in various settings.

Why is it important?
What sets our work apart is the combination of miniature dioramas, traditionally used for display and education, with cutting-edge AR technology. This fusion allows users to virtually soar over tourist attractions, interacting with 3D-scanned elements and receiving informative guides. This approach not only enhances the tourism experience but also brings a new dimension to education and cultural heritage contexts.
Perspectives
As a researcher involved in this project, I find the convergence of traditional educational tools with modern technology truly exciting. The potential impact on how people engage with and learn about tourist destinations is immense. This work represents a bridge between the tangible and the virtual, offering a novel way for individuals to connect with the history and culture of popular attractions. I believe our AR tourism system has the potential to revolutionize how we perceive and experience the world around us, both as tourists and learners.
