“…One of the techniques to be explored in the ubiquitous computing (Costa et al, 2008) is the augmented reality, which permits to merge images of the real world, captured by the device camera, with virtual objects. These objects can display information about the context of the POI environment, such as images, photos, videos, texts, and so on (Martin et al, 2012).…”

Abstract. Nowadays, Brazil has an expected growth in the tourism sector due to the FIFA World Cup (which had a huge success) and the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. However, there is a lack of tourism applications for Brazil, such as Electronic Tourism Guides (ETGs) for mobile devices. The existence of ETGs that takes into account real world environment is still very rare. By taking into account this scenario, this article presents a ubiquitous tourism model based on augmented reality. The proposed architecture, which is called UbitourAR, takes into account the context awareness focusing on localization-based services allied with user profile and restrictions. This article describes the development of UbitourAR enabling users to interact with the real world environment using augmented reality when visiting a place or point of interest (POI). In order to evaluate the model we had taken two approaches. Firstly, we evaluated the ontology proposed using scenarios. Secondly, we evaluated the usability in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and user satisfaction. For doing that, we developed a mobile application for the Caminhos de Pedra itinerary, in Bento Gonçalves, Brazil. The proposed model extends the previous work of Ubitour by adding augmented reality. The results of the tests showed a user acceptance higher than 80%, which encourages the research in augmented reality allied with ubiquitous tourism.

RESUMENAún existen en la actualidad limitaciones a la hora de enseñar conceptos que requieren la manipulación o visualización de objetos que no están al alcance de todos, bien por su naturaleza abstracta, científica o espacial. La realidad aumentada y los dispositivos móviles son herramientas disponibles hoy en día que permiten solventar estas carencias y ofrecen la posibilidad de interactuar con objetos virtuales en un espacio tridimensional. Para que estas tecnologías formen parte activa en el ámbito educativo es necesario proporcionar herramientas de autor que faciliten la creación de contenidos aumentados autónomos, que expliquen por sí mismos los conceptos que van a ser mostrados, que permitan añadir de una forma sencilla y transparente nuevos recursos virtuales y que puedan ser reutilizados. Este trabajo presenta un entorno de aprendizaje basado en la realidad aumentada que cumple estos objetivos.Palabras clave: realidad aumentada, aprendizaje móvil, herramientas de autor, contextualización, preguntas con respuesta múltiple. ABSTRACTEven today there are limitations to teaching concepts that require a specific level of manipulation or visualization of objects (the later of which are not always available). This is often because of the abstract, spatial or scientific nature of the object in question. Augmented reality and mobile devices are tools that are available today, which enable us to overcome these deficiencies. What's more, they provide us with the ability to interact with virtual objects in a three dimensional space. For these technologies to form an active part of the educational environment, it is necessary to provide authorship tools that facilitate the creation of autonomous augmented resources, and explain the concepts that are presented to the student. It will also help with uploading-in a simple and transparent manner-virtual resources that can be re-utilized.This paper presents an augmented reality learning environment which fulfils these objectives.
