Abstract

Promoting Industrial Cultural Heritage by Augmented Reality: Application and Assessment

Highlights

  • Augmented Reality (AR) technologies have been profitably used in different sectors such as medicine, industry, entertainment, military, tourism, education and so on [1 - 3]

  • The camera can be worn by the user when Head Mounted Devices (HMDs) are used or kept in hand when the AR application runs on smartphones and tablets

  • This paper focuses on the identification of criteria for the evaluation of an AR cultural heritage software and proposes the application of this multivariate evaluation model to an AR Android application for the promotion of an industrial cultural site: the Carpano museum in Turin, Italy

Summary

Objective

This paper aims to bridge the gap between applications and assessment by proposing a multivariate evaluation model and its application for an Android mobile augmented reality application designed to support the user during the visit of the historical industrial site of Carpano in Turin, Italy. This site is a museum that keeps alive the memory of antique procedures and industrial machineries. Method: The proposed assessment model is based on a star like representation, which is often used to denote multivariate models; the length of each ray denotes the value of the corresponding variate. A three-level scale has been chosen for the proposed star-like representation: full length corresponds to the high-maximum level, medium length corresponds to the fair-average level and short length corresponds to the poor-null level
