Mitos y leyendas en realidad aumentada como atractivo turístico.

Abstract

Connectivity and infrastructure are very important factors for the tourism development of a region, they include basic elements such as the necessary signaling for the location of visitors, interpretation of attractions and tourist information points, to provide information to tourists they must be located in strategic locations. It is also important to have technological innovations and adequate information and coordination systems with tourism agencies, virtual platforms and transport companies. For this, a modern and agile system is necessary to provide reliable information that can be used as a basis for decision-making in the public and private sectors of the department. The lack of technological tools and the conditions (economy, tourism, education) presented during these years due to the pandemic, shows that there is a lack of knowledge in technological media and digital tools for cultural dissemination and tourism promotion in the department. For this reason, it is extremely important to have an advantage that is differentiating and generates novelty, new experiences and to generate learning for current and new generations.

Boyacá (Colombia) has a cultural wealth that dates back to the Muisca settlements in pre-Hispanic times, through the colonization and Spanish conquest and its subsequent independence. This leaves a cultural legacy with tangible and intangible elements, an element that over time has lost its scope, diffusion and, above all, recognition. Among these riches we find myths and legends that constitute the unique identity of the region, stories that over time have been passed down from generation to generation. It is intended through this work that Boyacá culture and tourism in the region can have a greater development and recognition through myths and legends. The analysis of these stories allowed to recognize, classify (myth or legend) and compile them and thus understand the valuable resource that is available. With the support of the Interaction Design Faculty of the Tunja sectional Santo Tomas University and through augmented reality to be able to develop one of the most important myths such as Hunzahúa (Pozo de Donato).
