Abstract

Augmented reality is a popular technology for commercial, cultural, educational uses, etc. Likewise, the digitization of elements present in museums or art galleries offers an advantageous opportunity to use new tools with novel technological characteristics. In the present study, a mobile application will be evaluated, developed with the Unity 3D work environment and the Vuforia software development kit, which presents different virtual elements using augmented reality by identifying specific image markers. With the use of this mobile application, this study will validate how useful it is to improve the experience of visitors in their attendance at different cultural places in Peru. Through a case study of 30 participants, the impact on the experience, usability and usefulness of the mentioned application is qualitatively evaluated. The findings found that the tool was accepted as intuitive, informative, interactive, and novel.
