Augmented Reality – Presentation of the Artivive application for viewing the material culture from the Hellenistic site at Albești, July 15, 2021

This workshop aimed to continue the project in the site of the Hellenistic fortified settlement from Albești.

Organizers: Assistant Professors Mihaela and Cornelia Moţaianu from the Department of Design, NUA Bucharest and Professor Mihaela Valcu from Albesti “Ion Creanga” Secondary School, with the participation of the Mayor of Albesti, Dipl.Eng. Gheorghe Moldovan.

During the workshop a demonstration was made with fragments of some ceramic pieces that were scanned using Augmented Reality (AR) technology. AR technology allows the overlapping of informational content over directly perceived information. The demonstration was made using the Artivive application that uses a recognition-based technology. Thus, a fragment of a Greek black ceramic fish-plate was scanned with the Artivive application that superimposed over the real model a video montage with images of the whole object, so that it can be viewed in its original form. The demonstration also included the presentation of two projects designed to recover the visual memory, by accessing the historical information with the help of this application.
