Design of AR Content for Improving Artifact-centered Contextual Learning of Processional Paintings

A novel augmented reality (AR) design framework for processional paintings significantly enhances artifact-centered contextual learning, bridging historical narratives with modern digital experiences. This approach, applied to the Hwaneohaengneoldo folding screen depicting King Jeongjo's 1795 royal procession to Hwaseong Fortress, integrates a three-stage structure: fundamental artwork information, past-present geographical connections, and multi-marker-based AR interactions. Experimental results validate a learning pathway of geographical connection leading to concrete cognition and value recognition, demonstrating strong correlations between artifact connectivity and user engagement. Unlike traditional content-centric digital experiences, this method fosters intuitive understanding while preserving the authenticity and historical context of artifacts, offering a more engaging and effective educational tool for museums.
