With a mission to bring history to life while preserving the integrity of archaeological sites, we are collaborating on an exciting Augmented Reality (AR) project with the Keltenwelt am Glauberg. This innovative endeavor aims to present historical reconstructions at their real-life locations in true-to-scale sizes, offering visitors an immersive educational experience without physically altering the landscape.
By utilizing professional 3D models developed by a university, we are creating an intertwined AR and online guide accessible via station boards throughout the park. This project not only enhances visitor engagement but also ensures the preservation of valuable historical sites.

Developing an Immersive AR Experience with an Intertwined Path
Our collaborative project is currently in progress and focuses on delivering a seamless and user-friendly experience that combines AR technology with an online guide.
Key Features:
Utilizing Existing 3D Models:
The museum provided detailed 3D models of historical structures, created by a university based on extensive research and archaeological data.
These models serve as the foundation for our AR reconstructions, ensuring historical accuracy and authenticity.
AR Development with 8th Wall Web-AR:
We are using the 8th Wall Web-AR platform to develop the AR experiences, allowing visitors to access them directly through their web browsers without the need for additional app downloads.
This approach enhances accessibility and convenience for all visitors.
QR Code Integration at Station Boards:
Throughout the park, station boards are strategically placed at significant historical locations.
Each board features QR codes that visitors can scan to access both the AR reconstruction and the online guide related to that particular station.
Intertwined Online Guide:
Alongside the AR experience, the online guide provides in-depth information, media, and contextual background about each site.
This dual access ensures that visitors receive a comprehensive understanding by combining visual immersion with detailed content.
User Experience Design:
Emphasis on creating an intuitive interface that seamlessly guides users through the AR experience and online content.
Clear instructions and interactive elements enhance engagement and make the technology approachable for all age groups.
Preserving Heritage Without Physical Alterations
One of the significant advantages of this AR project is the ability to present historical reconstructions without causing any physical impact on the archaeological site.
Safe Reconstruction:
AR allows for the visualization of historical structures in their original locations and scales, eliminating the need for physical rebuilding or installations that could disrupt the site.
Educational Value:
Visitors can witness the grandeur and design of historical buildings as they once stood, fostering a deeper connection and understanding of the past.
Conservation Efforts:
By avoiding physical constructions, the museum protects the site from potential damage, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
Overcoming Challenges with Advanced Technology
Implementing such an innovative project comes with challenges that we are adeptly addressing:
Accurate Placement with SLAM Technology:
Utilizing Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technology ensures that the AR models are precisely positioned in the real-world environment.
This precision is crucial for maintaining the realism and educational value of the AR experience.
Scalability and Performance:
Optimizing the 3D models for AR to ensure smooth performance across various devices without compromising visual quality.
Ensuring that the experience is accessible to as many visitors as possible.
Enhancing Visitor Experience Through Integration
By providing both AR and online content accessible via the station boards, we create a multi-faceted learning environment:
Interactive Engagement:
Visitors actively participate in their learning journey, choosing to explore the AR models, delve into detailed information, or both.
Flexible Access:
The intertwined path allows users to engage with the content according to their preferences, catering to different learning styles.
Rich Media Content:
Supplementing AR visuals with videos, images, and textual information enriches the overall experience and facilitates a deeper understanding.
Looking Ahead: Innovating Cultural Engagement
Our partnership with the museum marks a significant step toward modernizing how visitors interact with historical sites.
Project Progress:
As we continue to develop and refine the AR park guide, we are focused on enhancing technological features and user accessibility.
Future Enhancements:
Potential integration of additional languages to cater to international visitors.
Expansion of content to include more stations or additional AR features based on visitor feedback.
Educational Impact:
Providing schools and educational groups with a powerful tool that brings history curriculum to life in an engaging manner.
Conclusion
By intertwining augmented reality with comprehensive online guides, we are redefining the visitor experience at historical sites. This innovative approach allows for immersive learning while preserving the physical integrity of the locations.
