Abstract

Cococi known as the ghost town of Ceará, is a district of Parambu. on account of your history, many broadcasters make stories, but with all this exposure, tourism is not explored, largely due to the difficulty of accessing the site. Tourism was one of the main growth areas in recent years, and more and more tourists choose museums as a one of the first tourist activities due to its ability to expose and tell the cultural history from one place easily. Around 2008, the Parambu museum project began to be elaborate. In order to attract and conquer the public, museums invest in technological solutions to improve the visitor experience. With that in mind, the present work proposed to develop the mobile application with augmented reality called AR:Cococi aiming to help the moment of visitation, increasing the experience and immersion in the section that talks about Cococi in the museum from Parambu. For the development of the application, a visit to the museum took place and there were selected which structures would be addressed in the application, with that, the 3D models were built by the author of the present work and the audios were also elaborated containing information about the structures. Then the application was developed using Unity with the Vophoria for augmented reality. With the application complete, a test was carried out in the museum and at the end a questionnaire was applied. The results obtained from this questionnaire were favorable, indicating that the application helped in the visitation process, bringing greater immersion, mainly, with the 3D models that brought a new perspective on the structures, which before they were only portrayed by image.
