What is Augmented Reality?
ENTER 2014 Research Track Slide Number 5
Expected Impacts of AR•Tangible benefits (economic)
• $600 billion by 2016 (Business Wire, 2013)• 864 million mobile phones will be AR by 2014
(Financial Times, 2012)• 100 million vehicles will be equipped with AR by 2014
(Mind Commerce, 2013)• 1 billion AR users by 2020 (Ahonen, 2013)• 2.6 billion AR app download by 2017 (Juniper Research, 2012)
•Intangible benefits– Social capital– City brand image as leading Smart City– AR as infrastructure– Business community

Phase 2 Market Concept DevelopmentJanuary 2013 – June 2013
• Employment of recognised concept development framework – identify key AR features valued by tourists (citizen)– 2 pilot interviews + 26 in depth tourist interviews completed
ENTER 2014 Research Track Slide Number 13
Research MethodologyIdentify Tourists’ User Requirements
Qualitative Research:•Two pilot Interviews•AR examples provided (text, image, video, GPS)•Two sessions (Feb, Apr) in the Gresham Hotel (O’Connell Street) and Fleet Street Hotel (Temple Bar)•26 In-depth Interviews•Thematic Analysis technique to interpret and analyse collected data
Population:•Domestic & International tourists•Main market segments: Ireland (n=4), UK (n=8), USA (n=3), Germany (n=4), France (n=3), Spain (n=2)•70/30 (f/m ratio)•Agegroup: 22-30 (65%), under 21 (19%), 31-40 (8%), 41-50 (8%)

Research Findings
• Local ContextDeals, price and on-going event indications to avoid unexpected occurances
• Personalization/User EmpowermentSave trips and individual profiles to shape trip according to interest, easier and more efficient planning approach by keeping application flexible for changes
• Up to Date Information and SpeedUpdate App for long-term functionality, promote time-relevant information, information on public transport, menus, prices, opening times, user-friendly UX and speed
ENTER 2014 Research Track Slide Number 16
Research Findings
• Reviews/Social NetworkRecommendations on attractions and dining options, encourage regular use of the App by linking to existing social network platforms
• Map/Easy NavigationEasy navigatable map of the destination, pinpoint location and provide information on surrounding, virtual route indications
• Multi-lingual/InternationalityAccurate translation of App to main markets, Translate through AR lense for common phrases used at the destination, exchange rate calculator
ENTER 2014 Research Track Slide Number 17
Limitations and Recommendations• Most tourists unaware of AR, limited knowledge to support answers
• Post-experience Qualitative Research after the development of Prototype App to investigate changes/additional answers (completed)
• Study based on Qualitative Research - Limited capability to generalize Findings Quantitative Research in February 2014
• Tested in Dublin context (developed EU city), might show different results in other cities/locations Comparative study between Dublin and developed city in Asia
• Study will progress to investigate other Stakeholders
ENTER 2014 Research Track Slide Number 18
• Source of local and relevant Information• Social Networking capabilities for regular
use• Design of UX, Easy Navigation• Multi-lingual• Speed
