Abstract

Abhises is an innovative AR virtual tour guide designed to make visiting tourist sites like Sigiriya in Sri Lanka more interactive and enjoyable. It uses advanced computer vision and AR technology to guide users around, offering detailed explanations and answering questions in real-time, just like a human guide but with more convenience and flexibility. The system is smart enough to interact with users even while it's speaking, creating a more engaging experience. It's designed with human-like features for a more relatable guide, and its technology can be adapted for any tourist site, aiming to make solo tours not just easier, but also more informative and fun.
