The topic

Augmented reality (AR) is future technology for the now. This rapidly emerging medium enables new ways of thinking, seeing,

interacting, engaging and communicating with your audience at a multi-sensory level.

What’s AR

Augmented reality (AR) is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements

are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. With the help

of advanced AR technology the information about the surrounding real world of the user

becomes interactive and digitally manipulable. Artificial information about the environment and its objects can be

overlaid on the real world.

How augmented reality works

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology enriching the real world with digital

information and media, such as 3D models and videos, overlaying in real-time the

camera view of your smartphone, tablet, PC or connected glasses

What we need?• Camera • Mobile device or• Tablet• Data base /server for the virtual objects• Glasses • GPS and Connection

In which kind of environments we can use the AR?

At the beginning it was used for the following sectors• Advertisement• Tourism• Marketing and social media

Now is applied also to research sectors • Health and Safety • Emergency• Resilience• Any drill environment• Cultural heritage

How AR can be use?

• As a didactic tool in a drill environment (INDOOR and OUTDOOR)

• As a management tool for the team in any situation

• As a tool in emergency scenario

In CULTURAL HERITAGE

How augmented reality technologies can be used to improve training and rescue in a cultural heritage site ?

In a Eemergency scene the team arrive at chaotic scenes and need to make sense of the environment and navigate a place they've never been. Wouldn't it be cool if they could see a virtual map of the site or have "X-ray vision" to see underground and the site plan.

Thanks to AR they can use location data of the site and they can monitoring during the time the monuments in the site.
