This research aims to think of guidelines, from a Smart Heritage perspective, for the development of an artifact that will aim to “boost” the visual perception of the architectural heritage. Thus, the Smart Campus at UEL works as the research environment, as a living lab to test the points of the Smart City. The research was designed in Design Science Research in six steps: (1) Problem Identification, (2) Suggestion, (3) Development, (4) Demonstration, (5) Evaluation, and (6) Communication. The results presented correspond to phases (1), (2) and structuring of (3). Step (2) had a focus group of four experts in the field of architectural heritage and sought a more realistic epistemological position, focusing on real problems and solutions about the visual perception of architectural heritage in visitation itineraries. Based on the experts' statements, a cross-check was made with the points raised in the Smart Heritage literature to then list the main guidelines for the artifact.
