Abstract
Descubre PUCP is a project developed and implemented in the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú whose objective is the improvement and extension of academic experience in college outside the classroom. To achieve this, Descubre PUCP marks each place in campus as a point of interest, showing its location using an augmented reality interface or a Google Map, adding relevant information for each one. This information includes static data (descriptions, photos, telephone numbers and mail contact) and dynamic data (in real time), interacting with different services and applications of PUCP such as events about to start in the auditoriums, free computers in the laboratories, the dishes to be served in the cafeteria, the streaming transmission available in different congresses or seminars in the campus and also explaining how to get to these places.
