Resumen

Photogrammetry, streaming, virtual reality, and augmented reality are technologies that are having a great impact in fields such as education, medicine, video games, and lately in tourism, especially in recent years due to the COVID19 pandemic; however, the area of tourism had limitations in terms of face-to-face tourism, but thanks to the use of the aforementioned technologies, it has been possible to virtualize the interactions of the users. In this work, we have carried out a review of applications of photogrammetry, streaming, virtual and augmented reality focused on the area of tourism. Which were found through a systematic review of the literature focused on the use of these technologies as tools for the generation of immersive environments for tourist sites. The objective of this work is to serve as a basis for future research focused on virtualizing tourist sites; That is why we focused on the following topics (1) the application of these technologies to tourism in related works, (2) the advantages and disadvantages in the use of these technologies, (3) the problems that these technologies present and how they would be solved and (4) future work. After conducting the research review, we have been able to confirm that photogrammetry, streaming, virtual reality, and augmented reality can be used effectively to generate an inmersive interaction between the tourist and the tourist site in a virtual way, but it is still necessary to take considerations about its use.
