Abstract

The recent advancements in virtual reality and augmented reality technologies have significantly enhanced the tourism sector by providing immersive experiences of various tourist destinations and heritage sites. This research introduces MR TOURGUIDE, a cultural adaptive mapping platform that uses mixed reality to create a comprehensive and interactive virtual environment. The platform utilizes cultural mapping to mobilize community collaboration through various strategies, building a knowledge base of integrated images, objects, and videos within a 360-degree virtual environment. In the COVID-19 pandemic, which has imposed severe restrictions and closures in the tourism industry, MR TOURGUIDE offers an innovative solution to preserve and promote cultural heritage remotely.
