Mobile Application Based on Augmented Reality to Encourage Tourism at the Wari Willka Museum

Abstract

In this research, we have implemented a mobile application that allows to know through an inter-dimensional portal the history of the Wari culture in Junín (Peru) without the need to visit the museum in person. The methodology uses AR Foundation and Arcore tools for Unity, as well as plugins to work with augmented reality through a structure of files used to create scenes with interactive interfaces and 3D modeling directly. The validation was carried out through surveys with a qualitative approach and experimental design, verified by Cronbach’s alpha (α=0.876) whose result of the measurement range is between good and high. As a conclusion, a positive influence was obtained in the tourist experience of the museum since the implementation of the application, with a percentage of acceptance of 65% among the users.
