Smart solutions for guided cultural routes along the iron age archaeological sites of the danube basin

Abstract

Reverberating on the social expectations connected to the cultural heritage, international cooperation was launched in order to communicate a lively image of archaeological research and to raise awareness for the importance of fragile monumentalized landscapes. The EU funded Iron-Age-Danube project resulted in several working camps, scientific and informative papers, presentations and new museum programmes. A smart device solution offers easy and wide access to the outputs and is the best suited to the present-day experience-oriented tourism approach. The GUIDE@HAND application offers archaeological sites by using a variety of interactive multimedia objects including maps, serious games, augmented reality, videos, panorama pictures, guided tours and a lot of other functions. The content is based on archaeological researches and can be updated even by the non-experts.
