Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop an information system (AR recommended GIS) to support tourists’ excursion behavior by making the accumulating, sharing, and recommending of information concerning urban tourist spots possible. The conclusion of this study can be summarized into three points as shown below. (1) In order to support tourists’ excursion behaviors by integrating SNS, Twitter, Web-GIS, recommendation system, and Smart Eyeglass, in addition to making the accumulating, sharing, and recommending of information regarding urban tourist spots possible, the AR recommended GIS was designed and developed. (2) 91% were between the age of 20-40 among the 91 users, and the ultimate number of submitted information was 161. In addition, concerning the operation using Smart Eyeglass, which was conducted with tourists in the Minato Mirai area, the total number of users were 34, age of users were spread out, and all users had no experience in using Smart Eyeglasses. (3) From the results of the Web questionnaire survey, the system is compatible for the collection method of tourist spot information for users, and is mainly used to collect tourist spot information using the viewing and recommendation functions. From the results of the access analysis using the log data form during the operation, the utilization method of the system with PCs and mobile information terminals were very similar. Additionally, as the system using AR Smart Eyeglass was rated extremely highly, it was evident that it is possible to support tourists’ excursion behavior using PCs, mobile information terminals, and AR Smart Eyeglasses are possible.
Highlights
In recent years, regarding Japan, which has progressed in advanced information development, various information has been transmitted by means of the internet
Because small and multifunction mobile information terminals have become widespread in recent years, many can use this conveniently in their daily lives
To understand efforts related to tourism in the region for operation (Yokohama City)
Summary
In recent years, regarding Japan, which has progressed in advanced information development, various information has been transmitted by means of the internet. When using AR technology, unlike VR, regarding the reality space surrounding the user, information accumulated in virtual space can be presented. This technology has been used before with devices such as cellular phones, AR Smart Eyeglass and other distinctive exclusive terminals, which has been designed to be convenient, has been recently released. Concerning sightseeing tours on foot in urban tourist spots, introduction of such AR technology in addition to existing mobile information terminals has been anticipated
