Abstract

Hidden landscape features, visualized by very high resolution digital elevation models (DEM) in combination with augmented reality (AR) apps are able to rise the tourist attractiveness of hiking trails away from the known travel destinations, especially for outdoor adventure tourists. Within the work described, explorer maps as a new map format in combination with the enrichment of landscape perception using digital twins of geographic features were developed. One big challenge was the credible placement of the virtual objects in three-dimensional space. Natural markers at selected points of interest (POI) are used for the tracking of the device in the 3D room and the enrichment of the camera view with the hidden objects of the landscape (e.g. bomb craters, railway features), preprocessed before as virtual representation. This alternative view of the landscape has not only the potential to rise the attractiveness of destinations, but also to attract new target groups in hiking tourism, such as young people and technology-savvy adults.
