ARikli

ARikli is an AR application and digital tourist guide to the principles and activities of the Bled spa tourism pioneer Arnold Rikli.

Welcome to ARikli, a free AR (augmented reality) application that presents the digitized heritage of Arnold Rikli and at the same time acts as a digital guide to Rikli's Bled, with suggestions for shorter trips on Rikli's paths which include stops with adjusted exercises of the riklian Water-Air-Sun programme.

Along the selected Rikli's paths, you will walk past visual targets you can use to provide you with AR content: either a demonstration of a physical exercise or a 3D object.

In short texts divided into chapters, subchapters, and photos, users of ARikli learn about Arnold Rikli's presence in Bled, his Water-Air-Sun programme, and the progressive lifestyle he lived and prescribed to his guests and patients. The application also contains a symbolic interactive map of Bled, with Rikli's monuments and paths marked. Selected catering and tourist facilities are also marked on the map, including indoor and outdoor bathing areas, the “water” category of Rikli's famous health triad.
