The APSIM project (Applications of Situated Simulations) aimed to promote the greek culture using innovative technologies, assisting both the general public and the new generations to get familiar and love the archaeological wealth of Greece.
Using an Augmented Reality (AR) application, visitors of archaeological sites and museums have the opportunity to enjoy a completely different tour-experience in the archaeological sites, resembling one of a video gaming! In particular, the visitors, using their smartphone, are able to admire the exhibits they select in their original form. They are able to move and rotate their device, enjoying an interactive visiting experience.
At the same time, application users are able to enjoy the same experience regardless their location and time zone, browse and get to know greek cultural treasures from the comfort of their home.
The project was implemented in two emblematic archaeological sites, Dion of Pieria and Delos of the Cyclades, as well as the Epigraphic Museum of Athens.
