Mobile Services for Toy Computing

Abstract

A multitude of tourists seek to travel to scenic spots where popular movies and TV dramas have been filmed. Filming tourism has become a popular selling point in the tourism industry. Scenic spots where popular movies and TV dramas have been filmed attract tourists in their multitudes. This research is to develop an augmented reality (AR) mobile service for the Google Android system that can integrate location-based service (LBS) and human-computer interaction (HCI) for a ‘Film-Induced Tourism’ app using ‘Junaio’ browser technology. With this service, users can view shooting scenes of film or dramas when they are near the same locations as detected through GPS on their mobile phone. Extending on previous works, this paper puts forward AR techniques that ensure interactivity in real time, and registered in 3D spaces. Users also can search for other information such as scenic spots or restaurants near the locations of shooting spots through the AR mobile service. Additionally, in order to extend AR technology for the Film-Induced Tourism App, this study proposes a mobile service concept of interactive AR Game that can provide a further immersive experience App or Web game.
