Implementation of the framework to heritage education supported in augmented reality

Abstract

Heritage education is a process that traditionally has been implemented in a similar way to how schools work, a teacher transmits certain knowledge to a student. Nevertheless, lately, there have been new experiences that integrate Augmented Reality into the processes of heritage education. This paper describes an experience of an Augmented Reality application called 'Social Heritage' that supports heritage education processes, and is based on a framework called 'Framework to Heritage Education supported in Augmented Reality'. This work presents the results of the application of the framework in the city of Cartagena - Colombia, where positive results were obtained with citizens and visitors. These Results are related to positive experiences and motivation when users use Augmented Reality technologies to develop heritage education processes.
