Scylax - preference based personalized Tour Planner with Virtual Reality

Abstract

Over the decades, travelling has experienced continuous growth and deepening diversification to become one of the fastest growing economic sectors in the world. Among the existing travelling applications, only a handful facilitate the ability to plan a tour which is entirely based on user preferences, while offering an in-depth look at the desired destination. Therefore, this research focuses on integrating semantic technologies, collaborative filtering and Virtual Reality into the domain of travelling and provide preferred user oriented tour plans with superlative user satisfaction. The key factor that needs to be understood is that the preferences or the behavior of one user may be entirely different from another. “Scylax” has introduced the concept of preferences and behavior based personalized tour planning and the way of exploring desired routes, major stops or attractions along the way via virtual reality 360 view experience. In addition, business organizations can use the web-based dashboard to maintain their services, offers and obtain business analytic based improvements.
