An Augmented Reality Application with EasyAR for Spatial Mapping in Museums
Hugo Pereira, Pedro Miguel Faria, Luís Romero · 2023
The present time has seen advances in the use of augmented reality technologies, making its use commonplace. Nowadays, it is common to apply digital transformation to the environment of museums. This article discusses a solution for creating artificial reality environments using the EasyAR software development kit. The solution was created as a response to a real case study for the Foz Côa Museum, in Portugal. The museum seeks to improve the user experience of its visitors, by using a new technology. The technology is capable to perform the spatial mapping of areas, populating the created maps with content and sharing these environments between multiple devices. Although the app was developed to be used in museums there is no restrictions to use it in any other area, where the creation of an artificial reality environment would be deemed advantageous.
