Augmented reality tour system for immersive experience of cultural heritage
Abstract
Cultural heritage sites, such as traditional palaces, have a wide range of services to help tourists understand them easily and to provide more attractive experience. However, these services are not easy to provide intuitive information about cultural relics to tourists because they typically use guide books or audio equipments. In this paper, we propose an augmented reality system for tourists' immersive experience at cultural heritage sites. The proposed augmented reality tour system provides an opportunity for tourists to have more realistic experience by showing virtual characters, which reproduce the past life at heritage sites. Its usefulness and effectiveness are verified by applying to a tour system at Sajeongjeon and Gangnyeongjeon of Gyeongbokgung, which is the representative of the cultural heritages in Korea.

Immersive technologies allow visitors to heritage sites to enhance their motivation to deepen knowledge of ancestors' experiences and lifestyles through simulations and virtual content.
“Several studies and applications have shown that the use of immersive technologies allows visitors to heritage sites to enhance their motivation to deepen their knowledge of the experiences and lifestyles of their ancestors, through simulations and virtual content related to the exhibited elements [17].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
