In this post, we’ll take a brief look at what is augmented reality and how it is making the tourist’s experience better.
Augmented reality blurs the line between what is real and what is computer-generated by enhancing what we see, hear, feel and even smell. Everyone from tourists to someone looking for the closest restaurant can now benefit from the ability to place computer-generated graphics in their field of vision.

Valencia’s Silk Exchange (La Lonja de la Seda) is one of the most revered buildings in Spain. It was constructed by the architect Pere Compte and is considered the most important civic building in the Valencian Gothic style. The buillding is a 15th-century indoor marketplace with a cathedral-like rib-vaulted ceiling and amazing twisted spiral pillars.
