Aplicación móvil con realidad aumentada para la interacción con la fauna de los visitantes al Parque Histórico de Guayaquil.

Abstract

This thesis focuses on the development of a mobile application with augmented reality that allows the interaction of national and foreign tourists with the fauna that is part of the Historical Park Guayaquil. In addition, it allows to obtain didactic knowledge of the various species of the animal kingdom that inhabit it, and at the same time, contribute to the increase in the number of visits. The work sustains that it is necessary that people have knowledge of the diversity of species, for the protection and conservation of wildlife, showing interactively: the description, characteristics, and habitat of each of the species that inhabit the Park Historical Guayaquil. All this thanks to the use of multimedia tools such as augmented reality, which allows the viewer to visualize 3D objects and which serves as a learning method to obtain a creative, visual and dynamic result. This proposal takes as an example the application of Pokemon GO, which was very well received by users since 2016 to the present. To develop this mobile application, resources were used as an interview with the person in charge of the administration of the park in order to learn about the history and types of animal reserves found in this place, since the existing information on the internet, it was very little. In addition, a survey of park visitors was prepared to consider the level of interest when implementing a mobile application with augmented reality that allows to improve the promotion and dissemination of the Historical Park Guayaquil, as well as, and obtain in a didactic way, knowledge of the wild zone of it.
