AR is particularly relevant to tourism because computer-generated images can be superimposed to introduce sites and events (Shih et al , 2019). AR applications allow tourists to create a strong feeling of presence and achieve an unforgettable tourism experience (Jung et al , 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors that influence mainland Chinese film tourists’ behavioural intention in accepting an augmented reality (AR) feature film character-related tour APP (an IfilmAR-tour-APP) based on an extension of unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model. Design/methodology/approach Systematic sampling was used to collect data; 360 valid questionnaires were collected from mainland Chinese film tourists visiting Macau. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was applied to analyse the data. Findings The findings indicated that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, celebrity involvement and personal innovativeness have a significant impact on mainland Chinese film tourists’ behavioural intention in accepting the IfilmAR-tour-APP, while facilitating conditions do not significantly affect tourists’ behavioural intention. Furthermore, the study revealed that effort expectancy, celebrity involvement and personal innovativeness positively influence performance expectancy in the use of an IfilmAR-tour-APP. Practical implications The findings of this study provide implications for AR tour APP developers which will help them to enhance their designs, and for the governments of tourist destinations to formulate their promotion strategies in developing niche tourism. Originality/value This study extended the application of UTAUT to tourism technology by introducing two personality traits in the context of AR tour APPs for film-induced tourism. This research contributes to niche tourism research by linking niche tourism and tourism technology.

“…A mobile navigation app that supports the activities of users during both normal times and disasters was developed by integrating augmented reality and web geographic information systems using landmark icons and pictograms as AR markers [21]. Additionally, a mobile app called Augmented Reality Tourism System (ARTS) uses 3D scans converted from a point cloud to a portable interaction size to display interactions between cultural heritage, tourism, and pedagogy [22]. In addition, a marker-free system was also proposed for AR-based indoor navigation.…”

Skyscrapers are symbols of local landmarks, and their prevalence is increasing across the world owing to recent advances in architectural technology. In Korea, the Lotte World Tower, which is now the tallest skyscraper in Seoul, was constructed in 2017. In addition, it has an observatory deck called Seoul Sky, which is currently in operation. This study focuses on the design of Seoul AR, which is a mobile augmented reality (AR) tour application. Visitors can use Seoul AR when visiting the Seoul Sky Observatory, one of the representative landmarks of Seoul, and enjoy a 360° view of the entire landscape of Seoul in the observatory space. With Seoul AR, they can identify tourist attractions in Seoul with simple mission games. Users are also provided with information regarding the specific attraction they are viewing, as well as other information on transportation, popular restaurants, shopping places, etc., in order to increase the level of satisfaction of tourists visiting the Seoul Sky Observatory. The final design is revised through heuristic evaluation, and a study of users’ levels of satisfaction with Seoul AR is conducted through surveys completed by visitors to the Seoul Sky Observatory.

“…They use a process called simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) to localize the device in real-world coordinates. In the literature, several AR applications, which are based on these libraries, have been proposed for different use cases [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Nevertheless, there are no studies that address the estimation of tracking accuracy of different mobile devices while considering AR libraries and price ranges at the same time.…”

As one of the most promising technologies for next-generation mobile platforms, Augmented Reality (AR) has the potential to radically change the way users interact with real environments enriched with various digital information. To achieve this potential, it is of fundamental importance to track and maintain accurate registration between real and computer-generated objects. Thus, it is crucially important to assess tracking capabilities. In this paper, we present a benchmark evaluation of the tracking performances of some of the most popular AR handheld devices, which can be regarded as a representative set of devices for sale in the global market. In particular, eight different next-gen devices including smartphones and tablets were considered. Experiments were conducted in a laboratory by adopting an external tracking system. The experimental methodology consisted of three main stages: calibration, data acquisition, and data evaluation. The results of the experimentation showed that the selected devices, in combination with the AR SDKs, have different tracking performances depending on the covered trajectory.
