Abstract

The possibility of interacting and thus making contact with elements of cultural heritage is increased by the use of Augmented Reality. In this chapter we discuss three setups of the Augmented Reality Lab of the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague displayed in two museums in The Netherlands and one realized at a design fair in Italy. Although we work in the field of AR since 2006, due to new developments in technology and software, this area remains relatively new. However, “lessons learned” from previous experiments and set ups are useful for anyone designing new experiences. The names of, art- design- and technology students, artists and scientists that collaborated in these set ups, are mentioned at the end of this chapter.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Terrifying was the text connected to the dish with a decoration of pins and the name of Agatha. She—a martyr—was tortured and her breasts were cut off with pins on order of Quitianus, governor of Julius, a Roman Emperor.
