Abstract

In the past few years, mobile phones have become an increasingly attractive platform for augmented reality. This paper describes the development of an interactive visualization system based on Augmented Reality Technologies and the integration into a tourist mobile application for Android. The basic idea is to allow the time navigation of cultural points of interest by means of Augmented Reality. The real scene is enhanced by ancient images to increase the cultural experience of the tourist, who can realistically come back in the past.
