Augmented reality challenges for cultural heritage.

Augmented Reality (AR) technology can provide a novel and interesting approach for presenting cultural heritage content to the general public. Recent advances in AR research and the quick uptake of powerful mobile devices now means AR systems are a viable option for heritage institutions, but there are still many challenges that must be overcome before high-quality AR experiences are commonplace. This paper examines published attempts at bringing AR systems to the heritage sector, and highlights and discusses the ongoing trends and challenges that are faced in this area.
