Abstract
The integration of Augmented Reality (AR) technology into the tourism sector has created new opportunities for improving how travelers interact with their environment. This study explores the innovative idea of using AR technology to transform the tourist experience by offering a seamless combination of interactive 3D models, historical information, and navigation assistance. The proposed concept centers on using AR-enabled QR code scanning to provide tourists with an immersive 360-degree exploration of monuments and tourist sites. This AR integration allows visitors to interact with monuments from multiple perspectives, enhancing their exploration experience. Users can rotate, zoom in, and access detailed historical information about each site, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of its cultural significance. In today’s digital age, tourists increasingly seek personalized and informative experiences during their travels. This approach meets that demand by fully utilizing AR technology. By integrating QR codes into the architecture of monuments and tourist spots, travelers can easily access a wealth of content. When scanning a QR code with an AR-enabled device, users are transported into an augmented world where they can view intricate 3D models of the scanned location. This immersive experience not only improves navigation but also provides a dynamic platform for learning and engagement. The interactive 3D models are central to this concept.
