The Future of Hotel Industry with Augmented Reality

Abstract

The applications of augmented reality, which is a young technology, have not yet been completely
revealed. In order to take the hospitality business in a new direction and provide an engaging
learning experience, this project investigates a novel application of augmented reality. In order to
give consumers or guests a special experience on mobile devices, this concept uses printed
photographs as target images and elevates conventional hotel menu cards using augmented reality
technology. In implementation Unity and Vuforia Engine software are used. Most people booked hotel
rooms without seeing them, sometimes they may not get satisfied with them. When people order some
new dish in hotels it may not fulfill their expectations because they do not know detailed information
about the dish. Hence to overcome this problem, we proposed a system using augmented reality in
which customers can take a virtual tour of the hotel room before booking and can look at a new
variety dish virtually in the form of 3D models. With this, a customer can be satisfied and enjoyed
their hotel tour. This growing technology can increase hotel business profit by fulfilling the
customers’ needs and requirements.
