Augmented Reality as a Mediation Tool in the Munich Museum of Casts
Methods and Potentials for an Interactive Museum Experience
Augmented reality (AR) is rapidly developing into an effective tool for interpretation and education in museums. It enhances traditional presentation formats by adding digital layers, allowing for the virtual reconstruction of missing components, the visualization of original color schemes, and the contextualization of historical details. Such digital enhancements deepen understanding and significantly improve visitor interactions with the exhibits. The Munich Museum für Abgüsse Klassischer Bildwerke collaborates with the Augmented Reality Research Group at the Technical University of Munich to develop digital AR content and explore its potential for museum education. This paper presents two case studies: The “ParthenonAR” application — a virtual tour of the model of the Parthenon — and a digital comparison between the ancient portraits of Claudius and Caligula, and also comments on the opportunities and challenges posed by AR in museums.
