VR-Kerala is an interactive tourism application that offers an immersive experience to tourists who visit Kerala with the help of Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence. It offers an interactive virtual guide to tourists. The AR guide will walk through different locations to guide tourists. The avatar facilitates both indoor and outdoor navigation as well. It also gives a 360-degree view of a multitude of places one would wish to travel, at the comfort of their home. The K’Lens feature included within the app identifies forts, monuments, etc that are unknown to them by pointing the camera at it when they reach a particular destination in Kerala. A multilingual chatbot to assist travellers, and a back to home feature to enable a tourist to trace back to home are additional features. The app notifies them about weather, disease, or any other cautionary alerts in their destinations. The app also shows nearby facilities like toilets, accommodations, restaurants, etc. The social impact would be that it promotes tourism, creates a welcoming, safe and helpful environment with a very interactive medium.
