Abstract
Most of the cities around the world have historical buildings, some of them are usually constituted as tourist places that people can visit; however, many others are not so well known and the inhabitants themselves tend to be unaware of their historical value and significance to the heritage of the city or the country. This paper presents the process of development of a mobile application prototype that pretend to help to disseminate the history of places or buildings with historical value. In this first case, the prototype was designed for an old building that used to be a cinema. The prototype aims to use Augmented Reality to disseminate the history of buildings, and at the same time preserve the history of the city through a mobile application that shows various audiovisual materials, like a timeline and a photo gallery and videos, which allow people to know the historical context of the building when it was in splendor.
