Geoescape room A virtual tour of Oviedo

Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) is a new tourism tool with special application as a first approach to the destination. The evolution of mobile devices has made it possible to increase the capacity of access to this type of resource without the need for other hardware. On the other hand, gamification and especially escape rooms are becoming important tourist resources. Therefore, the proposal of this article is the development of an educational itinerary in gamified format through the city of Oviedo, with the intention of constituting a tourist resource for the younger population.
