Aplicación web con tecnología de realidad aumentada para fomentar el turismo cultural en el museo de la Unidad Educativa Bolívar

Abstract

Currently, several organizations are seeking to capture people's interest through the use of new technologies. This is the case of museums that seek to attract more visitors and provide them with a better experience. This project seeks a way to promote cultural tourism in museums by proposing a web application that uses augmented reality. Thus, surveys were conducted to find out the interest of visitors in this technology. In addition, the RAD (Rapid Application Development) methodology was used for the development of the application, which allows a close contact with the client and a quick delivery of the product. Express.js and React.js were used as development tools along with the MySQL relational database manager. Also, Model Viewer was used to apply Augmented Reality and the photogrammetry technique to model's 3D the museum's exhibits. This resulted in an application that allows to manage the museum exhibits and, in turn, feeds the visible page for visitors, who can see technical information about each exhibit, as well as a 3D model of it.
