“…In previous studies, it has been argued that applications based on AR were limited in their implementation in other environments, as (Park & Woo, 2015) states, although more recent studies (Younes et al, 2017) state that the problem of interoperability for AR applications is already solved.…”

The domain of cultural-educational and tourist environments has entered the digital age, this allows the implementation of technologies of Augmented Reality (AR) to improve the user experience in these environments, and entails the possibility of providing greater satisfaction to the user visiting these locations. Hence, the problem was formulated. What is the effect of integrating AR to improve the user interaction of a cultural-educational environment? Case: UPTC natural history museum. It presents a documentary research that analyzes studies on AR, view it as a tool of support for learning and entertainment processes through the recognition of cultural, educational and tourist locations. We sought to identify the applicability of AR in cultural settings for didactic, adaptive and learning purposes, based on the concept of 'Edutainment'. Research methods: logical analysis and generaliaation of scientific literature, both absolute and relative statistical data and case studies. The analysis, obtaining, design, development, evaluation and implementation, methodology for projects based on AR was used for thi work; applied in 34% of the works identified. It sought to recognise the characteristics and advantages of using AR technology as a resource to improve the user experience, combined technology and entertainment to achieve learning objectives. In total, 210 papers were identified and reviewed. Cepeda-Galvis, P. A., Mendoza-Moreno, M. A. & Rodriguez-Hernandez, A. A. (2017). Educational and cultural environments enriched using augmented reality technology. New Trends and Issues Proceedings on Humanities and Social Sciences. 4(8), 52-59. Available from: www.prosoc.eu 53The technical and operational viability of the AR is deduced; this is an innovative technology that captivates the attention of the user. The combination of the real and the virtual; and its easy access are the characteristics of an application based on AR, implemented in cultural and learning environments.

“…Reference [32] proposed an application for outdoor site exploration throughout different periods of time, enriching travel experiences with important historic facts. In other research papers, the authors have used MAR applications "in situ" so that the visitors were able to explore and visualize building details in an intuitive way [33], to educate students visiting an outdoor archaeological site in a game-like approach-"Oracle of Delphi app" [34], or for huge reconstructed models of heritage monuments (e.g., Roman Theatre of Byblos) [35]. A novel paradigm is proposed in [36] based on presenting user artwork, in terms of 3D models, videos, and photos, in virtual kiosks augmented on the camera view of a handheld device.…”

Mobile Augmented Reality for Cultural Heritage: Following the Footsteps of Ovid among Different Locations in Europe

et al. 2019

There are many examples of cultural events that distinguish people nationally. Celebrating this can bring people closer, as inhabitants of different countries share similar cultural values. This study investigates a sustainable way to enhance these types of events. On the occasion of the 2000-year anniversary of the death of the Roman poet Ovid, we propose a mobile augmented reality (MAR) application that contains historical information related to his life. As Ovid often stated in his last poems, he feared his work would be forgotten after his exile from Rome. This paper focuses on assessing whether this is the case, while also disseminating factual, historic data to people who tested the application. Experiments were conducted in Italy and Romania, in three different cities: Sulmona, Rome, and Constanta. Based on the results collected, four constructs were investigated: comprehensibility, manipulability, enjoyment, and usefulness. The results revealed that the usability of the MAR application, and the interaction metaphor, are appropriate for the general public. The MAR application provided a positive experience, and thus, increased the extent of the occasion.

These annual review essays focus on what we as archaeologists are doing year by year. Many themes continue on from review to review, waxing and waning, not unlike the bell curves of a traditional pottery seriation.Each year, themes are highlighted and presented in varied ways according to the orientation and aims of the reviewer. All do a masterful job of curating the vast range of what archaeologists were, in each annual period, currently producing. My review follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, summarizing an array of new and exciting research, and describing how agendas presented in 2017 cluster around sets of related questions and aims. It will also look at the growing literature that asks, in one way or another, fundamental questions about what archaeology really is and why we pursue it. In this time when the value of academic pursuits and scientific perspectives are being highly scrutinized in politics and popular culture, archaeologists are faced with the uncomfortable question of "What is it, really, that we should be doing?" [archaeology, current issues, public archaeology, digital archaeology] RESUMEN Estos ensayos de revisión anual se enfocan en lo que como arqueólogos estamos haciendo año tras año. Muchos temas continúan de revisión en revisión, creciendo o menguando, no muy diferente de las curvas en forma de campana de la seriación de la cerámica tradicional. Cada año, temas son enfatizados y presentados de varias maneras de acuerdo a la orientación y metas del crítico. Todos hacen un trabajo magistral de organizar un rango vasto de lo que los arqueólogos estaban, en cada período anual, realmente produciendo. Mi revisión sigue los pasos de sus predecesores, resumiendo una colección de nueva y emocionante investigación, y describiendo cómo las agendas presentadas en el 2017 se agrupan alrededor de juegos de cuestiones y metas relacionadas.También examina la creciente literatura que pregunta, de una manera u otra, cuestiones fundamentales acerca de lo que la arqueología realmente es y por qué nos dedicamos a ella. En este tiempo cuando el valor de los empeños académicos y las perspectivas científicas están siendo altamente escrutados en política y cultura popular, los arqueólogos se enfrentan a la pregunta incomoda de "¿Qué es lo que realmente deberíamos estar haciendo?"[arqueología, cuestiones actuales, arqueología pública, arqueología digital] ARCHAEOLOGICAL FRAGMENTATION?While the theme of what such a diverse discipline should be subtly undergirds much of the literature, a number of 2017 articles, each in a very different way, directly address the very nature of what archaeology is and why we practice it. In the Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory, Assaf Nativ (2017, 55) asks us to reconsider our notions of the
