Gamification of Heritage through Augmented Reality

Article:

This paper focuses on a game on architectural heritage, possibilities for usinggamification for conveying information through the reanimation of an ancientcity. It proposes an immersive AR game involving the portrayal of culturalheritage through mobile devices. The game includes an AR application forAndroid devices which enabled rendering of 3D content in combination withcamera input. This application is an independent game, tracking targets throughGPS on a larger scale and using object recognition on a smaller scale. Ourresearch aims to propose implementing game mechanics on an AR system at anarchaeological site in order to increase visitors' interest, and promote thedissemination of cultural heritage.
