    Accommodation Finder: An Augmented Reality Based Mobile Application Integrated with Smart Contracts
    (2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Parameswaran, G.; Perera, M.J.F.R.; Aluthgedara, C.R.B.; Amanda, E.D.N.; Ishara, W.G.A.; Ganegoda, D.
    Accommodation is one of the basic needs for travelers, tourists, students, and employees. Accommodations range from low-budget lodges to world-class luxury hotels, but finding the preferable accommodation is undoubtedly a tedious task. And due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become problematic state to visit each accommodation property to check whether it's suitable for the accommodation seeker, considering the location, environment, and to check if the property matches the user’s preferences. There have been incidents reported where thousands of people have been victimized because of contract breaches in the accommodation and real estate sectors, recurring from contract alterations. Considering these problems, we have proposed a system to provide solutions using Natural Language Processing (NLP), Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Augmented Reality (AR), Block-chain, and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). This system provides an efficient approach to viewing the exterior and interior of an accommodation using 360-degree views, providing recommendations to the user based on user preferences using KNN and cosine similarity, providing security in a digital agreement using blockchain technology, and a map navigation system using ASR. With the aid of the previously mentioned techniques, a mobile application prototype is created with the possibility of future testing and implementation.

    VOYAGER – Smart Travel Guidance Cross Platform Mobile Application
    (2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Wijesinghe, W.A.K.D.; Amarasinghe, A.G.L.D.P.; Bandara, T.M.U.A.; Gamage, A.I.; Ganegoda, D.
    The tourism industry is one of the largest industries that contribute to the worldwide economy. Also, it is one of the best income sources in Sri Lanka. It makes a considerable amount of money directly and indirectly through contributing to the government budget, job market and foreign exchange earnings. Same as foreign visitors, a significant amount of domestic travelers contributes to the economy in Sri Lanka. Hence, the tourism industry is popular in Sri Lanka; this research aims to enhance travelers’ travelling experience. When considering today’s travel communities, there are a set of unanswered questions that travelers tend to find answers manually from forums and social media because of the lack of features in the current apps. This paper discusses the development of the “Voyager – Smart travel guidance mobile application” to fulfil the gap between current apps and user requirements. The mobile application mainly focuses on the following features; smart travel plan within the desired travel period, shortest and scenic path options, automatic review categorizing and rating system, place tagging and place feature extracting system, fuel data analyzer, and one-tap emergency guidance feature. Despite the previous mentioned features, the final mobile application includes a friends system between app users, group travel planning, and an in-app chat system. As a result of the research project, this user-friendly mobile application will provide a better user experience when travelling, and it will help to develop the tourism culture in Sri Lanka.
