| Summary: | Mobile devices provide an increasingly sophisticated support to enhanced experiences and understanding the remote past in an interactive
way. The use of augmented reality technologies allows to develop mobile applications for indoor exploration of virtually
reconstructed archaeological places. In our work we have built a virtual reconstruction of a Roman Villa with data arising from an
urgent partial excavation which were performed in order to build a car parking in the historical city of Valladolid (Spain). In its current
state, the archaeological site is covered by an urban garden. Localization and tracking are performed using a combination of GPS and
inertial sensors of the mobile device. In this work we prove how to perform an interactive navigation around the 3D virtual model
showing an interpretation of the way it was. The user experience is enhanced by answering some simple questions, performing minor
tasks and puzzles which are presented with multimedia contents linked to key features of the archaeological site. |
