Abstract
This paper aims to investigate how the adoption of new technologies offers innovative and dynamic perspectives for cultural heritage management. Specifically, we study the impact of augmented reality (AR) technology, applied in the cultural heritage sector, on consumers' behaviour and satisfaction. The implementation of AR technology allows the overlapping of images and digital labels onto perceived reality to amplify and enrich users' perceptions. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between AR applications and consumer attitudes with respect to cultural heritage. Following a preliminary analysis of the current state of AR technology, an empirical investigation was conducted through the use of an experimental video illustrating two applications of AR technology during a cultural visit and the administration of an online survey. From a managerial perspective, the use of AR technology may represent a key factor in successful strategies for achieving the sustainable management of cultural heritage sites and in increasing their attractiveness and consumers' awareness.
