description Augmented reality has been used in a variety of applications, including navigation, gaming, education, among others. This technology allows users to superimpose computer generated images on top of the real world environment. This article explores the potential of augmented reality to improve the orienteering experience for people unfamiliar with their surroundings. It describes how technology could be used to provide information and indications in the form of visual signals through the smartphone camera on the spaces of the Colegio Mayor del Cauca University Institution. In this way, students are provided with a tool to promote adequate compliance with the academic calendar and increase the adaptability of first-year students or the beginning of the semester.

La realidad aumentada se ha utilizado en una variedad de aplicaciones tales como la navegación, los juegos y la educación. Esta tecnología permite a los usuarios superponer imágenes generadas por computadora sobre el entorno del mundo real. En este artículo se analiza el potencial que tiene la realidad aumentada para mejorar la experiencia de orientación de las personas que no están familiarizadas con su entorno. Se describe cómo se podría usar la tecnología para brindar información e indicaciones en forma de señales visuales mediante la cámara del teléfono inteligente en las instalaciones de la Institución Universitaria Colegio Mayor del Cauca. De esta manera, se brinda a los estudiantes una herramienta para promover el cumplimiento adecuado del calendario académico al inicio de semestre y aumentar la adaptabilidad de los estudiantes de primer año. Para desarrollar esta idea, se utiliza una metodología experimental para crear y probar un prototipo con usuarios potenciales. Los resultados muestran que el uso de la realidad aumentada puede ayudar a las personas a encontrar su camino más fácilmente sin incurrir en interrupciones de las actividades académicas.
