Long Description
|
Culture App is an augmented reality mobile application for use inside the archeological site. Individual visitors are using their mobile devices and the augmented reality technology (A.R.) to gain access to 3D representations of the monuments, with written and audio historical information. Tour guides can also enhance their narrative by using the application’s digital material.
It contributes to sustainable tourism by promoting cultural heritage in an innovative way. A web platform called Culture VR that offers a reservation system, digital material (3D models, photos, videos, audio and text) and interactive features for an easy remote virtual tour of the archeological sites. This allows cultural visitors who cannot visit an archeological site and be physically present, to take either remote live-guided tours by tour guides or self-guided tours. At the same time, tour guides benefit from creating a new source of income all throughout the year. The app is user friendly.
