In the recent years, consumption and usage of multimedia content has shifted to handheld devices, especially with the introduction of second screen applications. In this paper we address the situation of delivering multimedia information to users using modern and novel techniques to attract their attention in environments like fairs, parties or showrooms in an entertaining and educative way. Two different approaches are presented: an Augmented Reality application on mobile devices and a 360-degree video player remotely controlled by a handheld device. Both ideas focus on the use of mobile devices, as they have become a powerful tool always worn by its owners.

In this paper, published in Applications and Usability of Interactive TV, 4th Iberoamerican Conference, jAUTI 2015, and 6th Congress on Interactive Digital TV, CTVDI 2015, Palma de Mallorca, Spain, October 15-16, 2015. Revised Selected Papers, we present two approaches to deliver audiovisual content for touristic applications.
