“…Likewise, accessibility to smartphones has been key since it allows for a direct and immediate immersive experience for the tourist, and its functionalities facilitate tourism through behavioral and emotional influences [21], where trust in smartphones and their daily usage patterns enrich the tourist experience by providing instant personalized information using past data. The tourist experience supports tourists' perspectives, ideas, and fantasies, and technology enhances the overall experience [22].…”

In recent years, the tourism industry has undergone substantial transformations, integrating new technology to lead to a new era termed Tourism 4.0. These innovations enhance the customer’s travel experience. An emerging trend in travel technology is the application of virtual and augmented reality, facilitating virtual tours that allow tourists to explore destinations without physically being there. We present the experience of developing 360∘ virtual tours for reserves and natural parks across the four provinces of the Maule Region in Chile including information, 360∘ images and videos, as well as several other interactions. A descriptive and correlational analysis was carried out with a total of 147 participants that evaluated the virtual tour, showing a positive correlation between the perceived attractiveness of the 360∘ experience and behavioral intention. Participants had an overall positive perception of the virtual experience; they found it involving and attractive, felt immersed in the environment, and were able to make decisions and interact with static and dynamic objects. The contributions of the present work are as follows: the process and what has been learned and can be recommended based on the experience for developing 360∘ virtual tours, combining dynamic and stationary elements in 360∘ in a virtual experience, and the results of an exploratory study that present the interaction with and user perceptions of the virtual environment.

“…An essential concept in this part of the plane is usability, a critical aspect that analyzes the usability and efficiency of computer systems. Likewise, the positioning of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies as one of the most relevant specific technologies in the Ibero-American context, where researchers seek to take interaction to new dimensions, investigating the interface between humans and computer-generated environments or the augmentation of real-world experiences, as evidenced in research [57]. Another prominent theme is serious games, which focus on educational and training applications [58].…”

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a research discipline that optimizes human-machine interfaces. Ibero-America has become a leading region in HCI advances adapted to its unique socioeconomic environment. However, a global characterization of the research landscape for this discipline in the region still needs to be improved. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the scientific literature on HCI in Ibero-America using bibliometric techniques, identifying key authors, institutions, conceptual structure, and research trends. The methodology employed consisted of a bibliometric analysis of 9812 documents from 1990-2023 from Scopus and Web of Science. The data were analyzed using Bibliometrix and VOSviewer for statistical and network analysis. The results revealed that Spain, Brazil, Portugal, Mexico, and Colombia are at the forefront of HCI research in the region, with more than 90 % of total publications experiencing an annual growth rate of approximately 14.6 %, driven by strong international collaborations. Key topics are human-computer interaction, virtual reality, augmented reality, and video games, while education is one of the main application areas. The main conclusion is that the HCI research landscape in Ibero-America is characterized by rapid evolution, international integration, and conceptual diversity, indicative of a mature and interdisciplinary field that responds to regional demands. The advancement of the field could be driven by increased private-sector funding. Future system designs in the region should prioritize cultural sensitivity and inclusion.
