In Samara, in the historical center of the city, the fragments of two wooden fortresses were found (the years of construction were: 1586 and 1706). The task is to find a way to demonstrate these architectural objects to a full extent against the background of the landscape of their historical location. The reconstruction of lost objects on the site where they were located is difficult because such areas are densely built up with newer houses. One of the solutions may be to use augmented reality technologies that allow combining, by means of superimposition, visual information (textual, graphic and three-dimensional), including the graphic reconstruction of the historical object, and the modern urban landscape as it looks.
