description
The concept of Geotourism encompasses the coordination of interpretative facilities and services to promote the value and social benefits of sites, geomorphological and geological materials, as well its preservation for the use of students, tourists or others with recreational or leisure interest. It is known that the Value of the sites is measured by the experience these can provide to the Visitor. The use of augmented reality technologies, geolocated and available in the field open a new paradigm of interaction of the Visitor with the surroundings, therefore amplifying the concept GeoTourism.

Interaction between a Visitor and a Site
GEOTOURISM
… it is about providing an Experience
GEOTOURISM
Communication investmentaimed at providing a better absorption of the Site’s potential
• guided tours
• information panels
• printed media
• interpretative centers
• special events
• Etc… etc …
Site Value = f (Visitor Experience)
… but, Experience is subjective
... Feeling that Communication, existing, is poorly absorbed
Background, interests, culture of the Subject change
… sometimes information panels would just be too obtrusive for the natural setting
Communication may even not be available where needed
… Visitors to Museums faced similar needs
Access to context based information
Information panels to distracting
Personal guiding skills prohibitive
Implemented Audio Guides
Searchable
Easily accessible
Personal
… GeoSite = outdoor natural museum
Points of Interest
widely dispersed; un-organized, unbounded setting
VisitorsEven more heterogeneous
Might be there by chance, or with a purpose
Take unconstrained paths (foot, bicycle, car)
Cover all settings (nature, urban)
Random visit timing and duration
Information is an added value
