Augmented Reality of Historical Relics in the British Museum

Abstract

Museums are one of the tourist attractions that are in great demand by the public. Museums can be used as a place to increase knowledge for many people; many people visit museums during the holiday season or on tourist tours, causing severe congestion when they want to visit the museum during that season. This hinders people from enjoying and learning about historical relics. Therefore, our group decided to help people to learn about the historical relics in the museum by using other media. Our group will create an Augmented Reality (AR) application in the form of historical relics in the British Museum. Augmented Reality (AR) will be created using the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) method to be able to produce maximum results so that users can use this Augmented Reality (AR) application more easily. The expected result of making this Augmented Reality (AR) application is to reduce the density in the museum, helping people to recognize and gain information about relics, paintings, sculptures, and others in the British Museum without having to visit the museum, as well as to assist students in learning about British historical heritage with a more fun method in a 3D View.
