In this paper, we present the Mont-Saint-Michel virtual reality system designed to create the virtual heritage environment, which is enriched with personalized tour guide service. The tour guide system allows users to travel in the virtual heritage site and get more information about the sites or items of user's interests. It also allows users to make their own tour guidebook with the pictures they have taken during the virtual tour and more detail descriptions from the tour guide database. It then generates the web-based tour guidebook for users to utilize it for the actual site visit or share it with others over the Internet. The components of this system are designed with the consideration of reusability to be used for other interactive tour guide systems. This paper describes the motivation the development and a preliminary user study of Mont-Saint-Michel virtual reality personalized tour guide system.

Mobile tour guide applications help tourists to search for and visit their surrounding POIs(Points of Interest) of their locations and to obtain their guide information. With the development of wearable devices like smart watches and wearable glasses, people using multiple mobile devices are increasing; a tourist may use a hand-held device, a wearable device or both to obtain tour information. However, most mobile tour guides using mobile devices provide the tour information with little consideration of their hand-held and wearable characteristics. In particular, a tourist with multiple mobile devices who search for the tour information from multiple mobile devices must input their intention separately to each device. To alleviate these problems, we propose a mobile tour guide system with the following features: one is to reduce redundant user input by sharing the touring context between hand-held and wearable devices; the other is to present tour information according to capabilities and usage pattern of the devices. The proposed system guides tourists by complementing disadvantage of the devices and also minimizes user interaction between applications and tourists.

최근 자유 여행을 즐기는 사람이 늘어남에 따라, 그에 맞춰 여행 애플리케이션은 빅데이터를 기반으로 관광지 추천 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 그렇지만 이 경우 전형적인 관광지만을 추천하여 독특한 여행 경험을 원하는 여행자들을 만족시키지 못하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 본 논문은 현지인 가이드가 자신만의 경험이 담긴 투어 상품을 구상하고 직접 안내까지 함으로써 여행자에게 특별한 현지 경험을 선사해 주는 것을 목표로 한 여행 가이드 애플리케이션을 개발하였다. 가이드와 여행자 입장에서 각각의 편리성 제공을 위해 두 개의 애플리케이션으로 개발하였으며, 웹서버 연동을 통해 상호간의 실시간 정보 업데이트가 가능하게 하였다. 또한 네이티브 애플리케이션을 기반으로 여행지 어디에서나 투어 상품을 구매할 수 있어 여행자에게 편리성을 제공한다.

As the augmented reality market has rapidly grown in recent years, various platform interfaces have emerged. In addition, it provides recommended travel information for each user based on a smartphone. Based on the recommended travel information, it provides the information of a tour path. Even though it is implemented in mobile devices and does not have continuous communication with servers, it needs new technologies that can provide additional entertainment services such as cultural and historical sites in corresponding regions while still providing guides depending on user movements

This study includes services that require six professional guides - health care, exhibition performance, restaurant, shopping, business and daily life - as well as a trip-based tour, along with solving existing problems that may occur on domestic and overseas trips, and proposes services that connect users with proven professional guides. As a result of previous research, the most needed services among overseas travel were air tickets, accommodation, transportation, and guides, but as Korea enters an aging society, professional guide services are expected to increase daily demand. Based on this, the service technology, user scenarios and brand development were presented. This Service Proposal provides users with a personalized guide to knowledge or experience that they have not previously known, providing them with a wealth of experience. In addition, guides can help develop new fields of expertise and help improve professional guides' capabilities. Finally, the platform service is meaningful in that it enables the creation of jobs by enabling everyone to engage in economic activities, as it allows users to provide services through their own capabilities while at the same time being convenient for them.

최근 몇 년간 IT분야의 키워드는 소셜 네트워크 서비스 (SNS)와 스마트이다. 이러한 시대 흐름에 맞추어 지도와 GPS를 이용한 다양한 어플리케이션들이 개발되고 있지만, 대부분의 어플리케이션들이 단편화된 지리 정보만을 제공해주고 있다. 특히, 애플리케이션의 서비스형태가 프로슈머 기반으로 바뀌는 패러다임의 상황에서 아직까지 일반적인 애플리케이션 서비스형태가 생산과 소비를 분리해서 제공하고 있어서 본 논문에서는 프로슈머 기반의 애플리케이션 서비스 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 특히, 여행가이드 서비스를 제공하는 애플리케이션을 대상으로 안드로이드 기반에서 지도서비스와 문서작성 편집 기능이 웹과의 연동을 통해, 다양한 방식으로 호환이 가능한 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 또한 이를 통해, 기존의 활용되는 애플리케이션의 단점을 극복하고 양방향 서비스가 가능하게 하고자 한다.

This paper contains the design and implementation results of a package tour management application using a Geofence technology as well as the performance evaluation. This application ables the tour guide to monitor the tourist movement in real-time whether the tourists are inside the virtual polygonal Geofence set by the tour guide. Even when the tour is moving between travel destinations, a virtual circular Geofence can be set by the tour guide to monitoring the tourist movement while on the move. The application includes tour guide's and tourist's locations, schedule and participant management. To evaluate the performance, average response time and accuracy is measured, resulting in satisfactory performance. The average response time ranged from 0.0047 seconds to 7.3 seconds in various cases and for accuracy, it scored 100% in various cases. It is expected that implementing Geofence technology to package tour management applications will help tour guides to perform more productive package tours by reducing the burden of managing tourists.
