| description | The importance of tourist information disclosure on digital platforms is, nowadays,
reinforced by public entities such as Turismo de Portugal and Turismo do Algarve. The
incorporation of strategies to encourage greater interest and involvement of the users are
likely to contribute to a more effective dissemination of tourist destinations and their
historical and cultural heritage. This paper presents the concepts, strategies and
technologies in the design and implementation of the gamified WebGIS3D platform named
CulRoute. This platform enables the users to visualize and navigate the three-dimensional
virtual models of monuments and to explore the 'treasures' of each monument in a gaming
environment, as well as to test their knowledge by answering optional quizzes. From the list
of visited monuments and other information available on the platform, the user can create
customized routes, save them into files or print as maps for later use. |
