Proposal of a Regional Culture Inheritance System by AR Technology

Abstract

In this research, we implement a regional culture inheritance system by digital archiving of regional cultural assets. This system realizes inheritance of regional culture and dissemination of information on cultural activities. This system is a smartphone application utilizing Web-GIS and AR (Augmented Reality) technology. By utilizing Web-GIS technology, this system provides users with multi-dimensional information visualization and location information reference. Also, by utilizing AR technology, this system provides users with browsing of regional culture contents superimposed on real space.
