| Abstract | 3D graphics and animations have been made affordable with the availability of powerful computers and have found their way into cultural heritage. Since the 00s more advanced technologies are being employed, like augmented reality. Our experience and contribution in this field lies in the implementation of the first mobile augmented reality guide for use in archaeological sites. This talk concentrates on the challenges and experiences gained within the ARCHEOGUIDE and LIFEPLUS projects, which were demonstrated at the archaeological sites of Olympia, in Greece, and Pompeii, in Italy. Technical issues are addressed alongside the usability and acceptance of these systems by CH professionals and the general public. We also present a forecast of the trends, challenges and opportunities in the near future and give a review of the benefits that cultural institutions can gain through the adoption of augmented reality and digital infrastructures. |
