A Generic Augmented Reality Telescope for Heritage Valorization

An innovative augmented reality telescope has been developed to enhance the exploration and valorization of heritage sites, addressing challenges posed by globalization. This generic, ergonomic, modular system allows tourists to access detailed heritage information through a panoramic view with optional zooming features. Tested in Paris along the Seine River, the telescope demonstrates its practical utility and adaptability for global deployment. The design prioritizes user-friendly interaction while maintaining scalability and extensibility, offering a novel solution for preserving cultural identity through immersive technology.
