Abstract
This paper briefly presents the overall concept of an “advergame” which aims to reproduce complete processes of the touristic sector using Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Photogrammetric techniques. A realistic game experience will be used as the basis for both entertainment and educational purposes. The mobile game application will be developed in a six phase process, which will include the implementation of state-of-the-art Image Processing and Computer Graphics techniques to create accurate 3D background and the development of an efficient game engine. The sub-systems and individual components of the game engine will be designed in such a way that will allow the reproduction of several real-world scenarios, which will represent a complete touristic experience, including a significant number of services and products.
