Abstract
This paper presents the results of the PRISMA project, where a proposal to include a zoom-lens camera into an outdoor marker-less AR system for the cultural tourism sector has been developed and assessed. The key issue of PRISMA is the combination of the commonly known concept of tourist binoculars and AR technologies. PRISMA presents tourist information from a new point of view, allowing the user to interact with multimedia information. An panoramic view from one of the hills of Donostia-San Sebastian city in the North of Spain has been chosen as the real validation environment.
