Augmented Reality Edutainment Systems for Open-Space Archaeological Environments

Augmented reality (AR) can significantly enhance edutainment experiences in archaeological settings, offering personalized and adaptive guided tours. A study on the Old Fortress in Corfu's UNESCO-listed Old Town demonstrates how AR systems, integrated with a communication engine for museums, support multiple tour types by analyzing content-user needs and designing interactive scenarios. The approach provides new narration tools for experts while adapting to individual visitor preferences, thereby enriching cultural tourism experiences through technology-driven storytelling.
