Augmented reality is a technology that overlays graphic elements over the image
of the real world via smart devices.
The thesis describes the process of developing a prototype of a augmented reality
application. The application is intended for tourists, for easier and faster retrieval of
information during their travels. When the smartphone's camera recognizes a
landmark, the screen is overlayed with the name of the landmark and a info button for
further information.
In the first part, I describe the theoretical side of augmented reality, where I
present the technology, fields of use, importance in the tourism industry and present
the technologies used in the development stages.
The second part presents the application development process, user testing,
conclusions and possibilities for further development.
