In this paper, we present augmented reality applications implemented by students and teachers of the 5th Vocational High School of Heraklion in Crete, within the context of informatics courses. The applications aim to enhance the traveling experience of the visitors of Heraklion city, exploiting the global spread of smart mobile devices in contemporary societies and the facilities they provide. The whole project was accomplished in a collaborative manner and focused on the provision of information about museums and monuments of Heraklion city. The applications have to be installed on the smart mobile device of the user.
Keywords: Applications for Tourism Augmented Reality Smart Mobile Devices.
