  augmented reality and marketing: ICT Tools and Applications for Accessible Tourism Eusébio, Celeste, Teixeira, Leonor, Carneiro, Maria João, 2021-02-26 The contribution of tourism to create an inclusive society requires the adoption of new approaches and strategies that promote the accessibility of tourism destinations, allowing all people, regardless of their health condition, to enjoy tourism experiences. To accomplish this objective, it is of utmost relevance to promote the active involvement of all stakeholders of the tourism system (demand, supply, government entities, and educational institutions) in the creation of accessible and adapted tourism products. However, the scarce literature in this area suggests that the people working in the tourism industry are not usually aware of several needs and travel constraints of persons with disabilities and that the information delivered by traditional information sources to this market is frequently inadequate, inaccurate, or incomplete. Therefore, the information and communication technologies (ICTs) may have a crucial role to overcome the several travel constraints that these people face to plan and carry out a tourism trip as well as to enable supply agents to develop accessible tourism products. Despite this, although in recent years research regarding accessible tourism has increased, the number of studies on the contributions of ICTs for the development of accessible research is scarce. ICT Tools and Applications for Accessible Tourism provides theoretical and practical contributions for accessible tourism in the growing tourism market for social responsibility issues and as an excellent business opportunity. Chapters within this critical reference source cover the academic discussion of global accessible tourism, increased knowledge of disabilities, ICTs that can be used, and emerging technologies. This book is intended for all practitioners in the tourism industry along with IT specialists, government officials, policymakers, marketers, researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in the latest tools, technologies, and research on accessible tourism.

  augmented reality and marketing: Innovating with Augmented Reality P Kaliraj, Devi Thirupathi, 2021-12-15 Augmented Reality (AR) has many advantages that include increased engagement and interaction as well as enhanced innovation and responsiveness. AR technology has applications in almost all domains such as medical training, retail, repair and maintenance of complex equipment, interior design in architecture and construction, business logistics, tourism, and classroom education. Innovating with Augmented Reality: Applications in Education and Industry explains the concepts behind AR, explores some of its application areas, and gives an in-depth look at how this technology aligns with Education 4.0. Due to the rapid advancements in technology, future education systems must prepare students to work with the latest technologies by enabling them to learn virtually in augmented ways in varied platforms. By providing an illusion of physical objects, which takes the students to a new world of imagination, AR and Virtual Reality (VR) create virtual and interactive environments for better learning and understanding. AR applications in education are covered in four chapters of this book, including a chapter on how gamification can be made use of in the teaching and learning process. The book also covers other application areas of AR and VR. One such application area is the food and beverage industry with case studies on virtual 3D food, employee training, product–customer interaction, restaurant entertainment, restaurant tours, and product packaging. The application of AR in the healthcare sector, medical education, and related devices and software are examined in the book’s final chapter. The book also provides an overview of the game development software, Unity, a real-time development platform for 2D and 3D AR and VR, as well as the software tools and techniques used in developing AR-based apps.
  augmented reality and marketing: Experience Marketing Bernd Schmitt, 2011 Experience Marketing examines a new and exciting concept that is of interest to academics and marketing practitioners who have come to realize that understanding how consumers experience brands, and how to provide appealing brand experiences for them, is critical for differentiating their offerings in a competitive marketplace. Understanding consumer experiences is a core task for consumer research, but consumer and marketing research on experience is still emerging. Experience Marketing reviews and discusses experience research conducted in various disciplines and in sub-disciplines of marketing. The author begins with an exploration of the experience concept itself. What do we mean by experience? What are consumer experiences? How are they different from other established constructs in our field? Next, this monograph reviews the key concepts of experience marketing and provides empirical research findings that shed light on consumer insights on experiences. It also examines the strategic management and marketing literature on customer experience and the practical frameworks for managing experiences. Finally, it explores an exciting emerging area of research-the interface of consumer experience and happiness.
