Abstract | The advent of mobile technologies has created opportunities for more effective delivery of cultural heritage information to all interested parties, and especially tourists who are on-the-move. Many people nowadays are equipped with smartphones or tablets equipped with location tracking devices such as GPS and compasses and having internet access available; these smartphones can be used for efficient delivery of cultural heritage information, in a personalized and timely fashion. Moreover, the computing resources of these smartphones are adequate to enable the use of augmented reality techniques, which provide a lively and engaging experience to the users. However, the same content still needs to be disseminated to users of stationary computers. In this paper, we report on the design and development of a mobile-enabled platform for presenting and disseminating cultural heritage information enhanced with augmented reality and integration with social networks. |
