The implemented solution: Augmented Reality mobile application and 360º videos

In response to the growing demand for tourism and the need to offer a more immersive experience to visitors, an Augmented Reality mobile application was developed for the municipality of La Palma del Condado. This application allows tourists to explore the places of interest in the municipality in a unique and exciting way, using Augmented Reality technology and 360 degree videos. A total of 11 locations are included, allowing tourists to explore a wide variety of points of interest.

Using the camera on their mobile devices, tourists can see virtual images superimposed on the real view in real time, providing detailed and relevant information about the points of interest as they move around the municipality. In addition, the app includes the information in written form and also narrated by characters of the time. The information is consumed unattended, giving visitors the flexibility to explore at their own pace and according to their interests.

A highlight of the app is that once the narration about the historical sites is finished, the user can test themselves with a quiz, offering an even more interactive and gamified experience. This adds a playful element that encourages participation and learning during the visit.

The Augmented Reality mobile app is available for both Android and iOS devices, allowing a wide range of tourists to access the experience. The app has been developed in several languages, including Spanish, English, French and German, to ensure that international visitors can enjoy the app and immerse themselves in the history and culture of the municipality.
