Abstract
Augmented Reality is one of the most rapidly spreading technology used in several areas such as healthcare, education, entertainment, industry. For tourism and travel, visual augmented reality has been used for guidance, entertainment and exploration, etc. However, its main drawback is that it distracts the visitor from the main real attractions. In this paper, we present a scavenger hunts based on audio augmented reality and serious game concepts. The aim of this game is to create an interactive and immersive visit in order to guide visitors through different attraction places. We used audio augmented reality and some gamification elements to motivate the visitor to explore the main places in “Jnan Sbil” historical garden in Fez, Morocco.
