La aplicación de realidad virtual consiste en un juego de aventura para turistas y estudiantes que quieran explorar los sitios más interesantes a través de minijuegos en la ciudad de Augsburgo. En este proyecto se trabajan diferentes aspectos como trabajo en equipo en ambiente internacional, investigación en geolocalización, generación de ideas de diseño, desarrollo técnico del prototipo, pruebas funcionales y pruebas de usuario.

[EN] Augsburger102 is the continuation of project Augsburger101, created by previous international students as their semester project which is the design of a geolocation and virtual reality game to explore the city of Augsburg. In this paper, we have provided an overview of the research and process that have undertaken to understand and creating of a working application that focused on tourism exploration in Augsburg. Our prerequisite required in a thorough study of the previous project and look for new areas/ interactions to integrate into the product. Since each country has a different aspect that defines its culture, we had to understand what makes up a Bavarian culture. So we being asking question such as “What makes Augsburg special?”, “What significance does this building hold towards Augsburg culture?”, “Does building counts as the culture? ”, “What type of food contains the Bavarian culture and why?”, “Is there any specific clothing of Bavaria? ” Since curiosity has been inside humans since the start of dawn. We explored lands in search of food, water, shelter. And as age progressed, few settled in one place and others moved on, and it goes on and on. But, we as a human never left the curiousness that resides inside us. Curiousness to explore and understand. And with this inside our DNA, humans have been exploring the world trying to learn new culture and to understand what makes it special. With this we tried to answer and explain everything in this report.
