Read full description

XRTourGuide guides you in discovering cultural, natural, and historical places through immersive and interactive digital tours. With the app, you can explore local routes, follow points of interest on the map, and access multimedia content such as text, images, audio, video, PDFs, and useful links. During your visit, when available, you can use your camera to automatically recognize monuments, artworks, buildings, or other points of interest and instantly view the related information. The experience is designed to make every visit more engaging and accessible by combining maps, digital content, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence. You can search for new tours, read reviews, and save itineraries. XRTourGuide also works offline: compatible tours can be downloaded in advance, along with maps and resources, allowing you to continue your exploration even in areas with limited or no internet connection. Whether you are visiting a historic village, a museum, a nature trail, or a historical landmark, XRTourGuide helps you discover local stories, content, and details in a simple, modern, and immersive way. This sub-project has received funding from the project FUTURAL (Grant Agreement number: 101083958) through its Open Call, funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme.
