With the advancement of technology, it has become possible to carry out virtual tours to physical spaces, without being there in person. With the pandemic, this type of technology proved to be of great importance for places like museums due to people only leaving home to go to places of extreme importance, such as the hospital or to buy essential goods, but even that began to be less thanks to the existence of applications like Uber that deliver food at home. In case of physical tours, with the innovation of technology, it is possible to use augmented reality to make the visits more interesting and thus enrich the experience. Although virtual tours are useful, there are still certain difficulties in their implementation due to the inclusion of dynamic elements, such as interaction with people and the scenery. Throughout this paper, these same difficulties will be addressed and explained how they were resolved. Build2050 is a European project coordinated by IPS, which aims to build smart and sustainable buildings. This dissertation consists of the implementation of the technologies mentioned above, to provide different ways of visiting buildings and be more impactful for the visitor.
