In recent years, the integration of augmented reality (AR) into heritage tourism has facilitated innovative and immersive experiences. However, limited research has explored the usability and experiential dimensions of AR applications within heritage sites and their surrounding commercial districts from a user-centered perspective. This study focuses on ''Houpu'' in Kinmen as the field site, adopting a service design approach to investigate the usability and experiential impact of AR applications in both heritage settings and adjacent commercial areas. The research is conducted in three distinct phases: Phase 1 involves the pre-testing of the AR platform through the development of a preliminary ''app,'' coupled with user testing, interviews, and expert consultations to identify key user touchpoints, pain points, and service gaps. Phase 2 centers on platform optimization, informed by the insights derived from the first phase. Phase 3 encompasses post-testing, wherein 60 participants engage in user testing and focus group interviews to evaluate the usability and experiential dimensions of the optimized platform, i KINMEN (experimental group), in comparison to the existing Kinmen Mobile Tourism Service platform (control group). The study also assesses the impact of AR on young travelers' experiences in Houpu. Key findings include: (1) In the usability assessment, the control group’s platform, Kinmen Mobile Tourism Service, outperformed in the ''audio guide'' feature due to its simplicity of operation. (2) In the experiential assessment, the experimental platform, i KINMEN, demonstrated superior engagement among younger users, particularly through its ''AR game'' and ''AR photo'' features, which effectively enriched the heritage tourism experience. (3) In the context of AR-driven tourism development, this study recommends conceptualizing heritage sites and their adjacent commercial districts as integrated ''heritage parks.'' This approach has the potential to enhance the travel experiences of younger demographics while simultaneously stimulating local tourism and economic development. |
