AR Tours
An AR tour guide app for landmarks, city walks, and destination storytelling
ARLOOPA helps destinations and curators turn real places into guided digital layers. Users can browse the map, travel to a point of interest, and unlock AR stories tied to landmarks, routes, and venues.
Teams can create this experience type in ARLOOPA Studio, publish it to the ARLOOPA app, and let users open it through the same viewing flow on mobile or headset devices.
Discover landmarks and city routes through map-based AR
Useful for destinations, campuses, venues, and public tours
Guide users through a place instead of a single one-off scene
Strong fit for tourism, education, and cultural programming
Destination discovery
Use real places as the structure for the AR journey
Tour-style AR works best when the user moves through a sequence of meaningful places rather than opening disconnected content. ARLOOPA supports that through map-based discovery and location-aware viewing.
This makes the app useful for city guides, campus routes, destination marketing, cultural walks, public events, and place-based storytelling that benefits from progression.
Guide people through landmarks, venues, and curated stops
Use the map to show where content lives and how it connects
Create stronger place-based engagement than a static guide page
Why it fits
A practical app for tours that combine discovery and immersion
ARLOOPA covers both the discovery layer and the viewing layer, which matters for tours. Users can browse the route, understand where to go, and then open an immersive scene in context once they arrive.
That creates a more guided experience than isolated web links and gives destinations a clearer way to structure narrative journeys.
Useful for tourism boards, campuses, museums, and cities
Support self-guided exploration with digital layers
Blend navigation context with immersive storytelling
Create and Publish
Build this experience in ARLOOPA Studio
ARLOOPA is not only for viewing. Teams can create marker-based, markerless, and location-based experiences in ARLOOPA Studio, then publish them so users can open the result in the ARLOOPA app.
The same ecosystem supports both sides of the workflow: creator teams build and manage experiences in Studio, while end users discover and launch them in the ARLOOPA app.
1. Start in ARLOOPA Studio and choose the experience type you want to publish.
2. Build the scene, configure the trigger or placement mode, and publish for the ARLOOPA app.
3. Let users open the experience in the app through scanning, placement, location discovery, or shared links.
